COURSE CURRICULUM

Includes the practical training on concerned topics related to human anatomy (Head and Neck). It consists of the Gross anatomy, Osteology, embryology, histology, radiology, surgical anatomy and genetics. The students were divided into groups and made them to attend all the above subjects in rotation.

UG PROGRAMME:

The innovative teaching and research strategies adopted by the department are directed to develop self learning habits in students through dissection, discussions, symposium & seminars. The department is using modern teaching & learning resources.

PG PROGRAMME:

The department is guiding post graduate students of various dental departments in our campus. Dissection videos, 3D models and dissected specimens been used for teaching the subject in depth.

DEPARTMENT RESOURCES

The Department upholds the prestige of the discipline among the fraternity of staff members. The department has developed the following laboratories.

Gross anatomy:

Here, the department consists of a separate dissection hall with storage tank for the cadavers as well as for the dissected wet specimens, colored and labeled dissected charts and dissection tables for the demonstrations of the students.

Histology laboratories:

The histology lab is well equipped with adequate numbers of microscopes with ample luminosity for the student to demonstrate with the histological slides.

Museum:

The museum of the department is made available with the wet specimens, models, charts and bones.

Radiological anatomy:

Various X-rays related to head and neck region are collected for the demonstration purpose of the student.

Developmental Anatomy:

The embryological models are available for the students to understand the developing processes of the individual structures related to head and neck region.

Osteology:

Abundant numbers of dry bones are available for the demonstration purpose of the student which is placed in the museum.

Genetics:

Various basic and clinical genetic charts are available for the reference of the students.
