MDR 855: AISS: Clinical Anatomy and Surgery - Thorax

This advanced anatomy selective course is offered to the NextGen Phase 3 Miller School of Medicine students who have a strong interest in deepening their knowledge of surgical anatomy and developing their surgical dissecting skills. Learning will be accomplished through self-directed on-demand lectures (“flipped classroom”), practical demonstrations by Anatomy faculty, proctored dissection of human donors, and real-time, hands-on exposure in the operating rooms. In addition, workshops designed to teach the students the foundational skills of surgical knot tying, instrument handling and suturing techniques. These workshops will be given twice during the rotation, and these skills will be tested at the end of the rotation.
