The teaching of Human Structure the First year medical students aims at providing a comprehensive knowledge of the gross and microscopic structures of the human body and its development, which would form the basis for understanding the mechanism of various diseases. Our objectives are to explore and appreciate the three dimensional aspects of the normal human body, interrelationships and its functional and applied aspects to study and identify microscopic structures of various tissues and organs in the human body and correlate the structure with the functions as a prerequisite for understanding the altered state in various disease processes and to understand the basic principles of embryology including genetic inheritance and stages involved in development of the organs and systems from conception till birth. He/She should be able to explain the developmental basis of congenital anomalies and the effects of common teratogens genetic mutations and environmental hazards. Our focus is to enhance the problem solving skills as a physician and to become a lifelong learner. This knowledge should then be integrated with the knowledge of other basic sciences to help him/her comprehend the regulation of the functions of the organs and systems in the body which would then enable the interpretation of the anatomical basis of disease process in later years of his training. He should acquire integrated knowledge of the body which is necessary for diagnosis and management of the patients. We also put a log of emphases on performing clinical and basic research which will lead to better understanding of the community oriented medical problems and their treatment.

The department is being headed by
Dr. Mrs. Uma Ojha

An extensive minimum 650 hours of teaching process is followed strictly year by year under the various domains of Anatomy like Gross Anatomy, Histology, Neuroanatomy, Embryology, Surface Anatomy, Genetics and Radiology. The topics are wisely divided to include and cover all the above mentioned domains. Weekly schedule include 21 hours of teaching which includes 2 hours of daily dissection and histology practicals respectively. Theory sessions are again divided into Lectures, Demonstrations and Tutorials. Students are kept on their toes by part completion exams , semester exams and substages. The dissection hall, histology lab and museum have been constructed to provide the best learning environment to the UG Students and are laid with a number of models, charts and specimens (both wet mounted and dry)
