DEPARTMENT OF ANATOMY

   INTRODUCTION

Anatomy forms the basis for the practice of medicine. Students will need a sound knowledge of anatomy of human body as they venture into the clinical domain. The department of anatomy is committed to providing quality education, conducting research, addressing the fast evolving needs of the medical education and society.

AIM

The broad goal of the teaching of undergraduate students in anatomy aims at provide comprehensive, broad based undergraduate program, conducive environment for developing educational, ethical and leadership skills, strong hands on experience through laboratory skills.

OBJECTIVES OF PROGRAM (MBBS)

- Foundation course on stress time management and communication skills will be conducted in first month of admission.

- To provide the students with a thorough introduction of the characteristics, structure,

  development, function and clinical significance of the human body.

- To recognize Anatomical structures, learning their developmental processes and apply their

   knowledge of anatomy to the cases that they will encounter during clinical training and future

   careers.

-  To maintain the highest standards of ethical and professional conduct.

(A)       KNOWLEDGE

At the end of the course the students shall be able to:

(a)    Comprehend the normal disposition, clinically relevant interrelationship, functional and cross sectional anatomy of the various disease processes.

(b)   Identify the microscopic structure and correlate elementary ultra structure of various organs and tissues and correlate the structure with the functions as a prerequisite for understanding the altered state in various disease processes.

(c)    Comprehend the basic structure and connections of the central nervous system to analyze the integrative and regulative functions of the organs arid system.

(d)   Demonstrate knowledge of the basic principles and sequential development of organs and system; recognize the critical stages or development and effects or common dermatogens, genetic mutations and environmental hazards. He/ She should be able to explain the developmental basis of the major variations and abnormalities.

(B)       SKILLS

At the end of the course the students shall be able to:

(a)    Demonstrate knowledge of the basic principles and sequential development to identify and locate all the structures of the body and mark the topography of the living anatomy.

(b)   Identify the organs and tissues under the microscope

(c)    Understanding the principles of karyotyping and identify gross congenital anomalies.

(d)   Understand the principles of newer imaging techniques and interpretation of Computerized Tomography (CT) scan, Sonogram, etc.

(e)    Understand clinical basis of some common clinical procedure i.e.  Intramuscular and  intravenous injection, lumbar puncture and kidney biopsy etc.

To Summarize the teaching will be done under the following heads:

1.      Foundation course

2.      General anatomy

3.      Gross anatomy (study and dissection or various regions of body Lower extremity, Upper extremity, Thorax, Abdomen, Pelvis, Brain, Head And Neck)

4.      Microanatomy (Histology)

5.      Embryology -General  and Systemic 

6.       Genetics

FACILITIES

- The Department of Anatomy at S.K. Govt. Medical College, Sikar is on the upper ground floor of the academic block.  

-  It comprises of well trained and experienced post-graduate faculty members. The teaching faculty is known for student-friendly methods of teaching.

 - The Department consists of air conditioned dissection hall that is well lighted, equipped with

  multimedia, provided with models, charts, Radiogram with X-Ray view box and skeleton. It is also provided with a mortuary cooler for storage and cooling of cadavers. Human cadavers are available for dissection purpose.

- Embalming room equipped with embalming machine and embalming table.

- Museum is equipped with models and Charts of gross anatomy, embryology and neuroanatomy and also wet specimens. It also have articulated and dis-articulated skeletons and carefully selected X-ray, CT and MRI films for student learning activities.

-The Department is equipped with a furnished, spacious, well ventilated histology laboratory

 with 50 monocular and 10 binocular microscopes and a slide projecting microscope with screen for demonstration of histological slides.

- Research laboratory is also available in the department comprising rotary microtome, sledge microtome, incubator, hot plate, water bath, slide drying plate and dissecting microscope.

- Departmental library have latest books and journals with air conditioned sitting arrangement.

- 2 Demonstration rooms are available with audio-visual aids.

TEACHING ACTIVITIES

The Department of Anatomy have a balanced approach with a combination of didactic lectures, dissection, demonstration of cadavers and bones, problem based learning and small group discussions of clinical cases, tutorials etc. These method of teaching cover all the Competencies mentioned in MCI guidelines. Lectures are made interesting and lively with use of multimedia.
