Normal and Forensic Anatomy is a six week course that provides a fundamental understanding of all major anatomic structures of the human body. This course takes a systemic approach emphasizing gross-level anatomy and examines body systems interactions to form the functioning whole. Anatomy of organs and organ systems are correlated with physiologic functions. Imaging techniques including CT, MRI, and x-rays are used to introduce the application of diagnostic imaging to the diagnosis of clinical disorders. Methods of forensic anatomy and anthropology are discussed in the context of the functions of the medical examiner.
