The department of Anatomy has been recognized for its excellence in teaching applied/clinical anatomy and innovative teaching methodologies: – blended learning, small group discussion, interactive seminars with students’ participation as well as for its outstanding and well-respected teachers. Apart from these strengths, the department has internal excellent resources and external experts for teaching anatomy.

The department is proud to have the ‘state of art’ Human Anatomy Dissection Hall which displays human museum specimens and prosected specimens and provides digital media and is heavily used for medical education.

The department developed a well-equipped microscopic laboratory with the digital media facilities and Human Tissue Processing Laboratory and Cytology laboratory together with the Department of Pathology. These laboratories are occupied with high end novel equipment to provide in-service to undergraduate teaching, researchers and to nearer hospitals.

The human Osteology and Anthropology laboratory is being equipped with high end digital anthropometric equipment for strengthening the research works carried out by the department and the faculty.

While we follow traditional teaching method using cadaveric dissections, prosected cadavers, ‘living anatomy” and Clinical Application of Medical Sciences such as physical examination, early exposure of preclinical students to hospital setup have been implemented with greater emphasis in the new curriculum. Unlike a typical anatomy course, which emphasizes more on the imparting of knowledge and skills, this Department emphasizes on value-based education by integrating humane values and practices with academic instruction.

The Department continuously launches research program, particularly in the key thrust areas of population studies, morphology, morphometry and medical education etc. Our ultimate goal is to train competent health care professionals by teaching the basic structure of the human body and clinical applications which will aid them in future for careful diagnosis and proper treatment for patients
