Welcome to the Department of Anatomy
The Department of Anatomy as an integral part of the Faculty of Basic Medical Sciences is poised to train with the highest standards undergraduate Medical, Dental, Physiotherapy, Physiology, Pharmacology, Radiography, Nursing and Medical Laboratory Science students in order to prepare them with background knowledge in Human Anatomy in the fields of Gross Anatomy, Embryology, Histology and Neuroanatomy.
The department trains Postgraduate students at the Masters and Doctorate level with the relevant skills to teach the subject of Anatomy and to carry out research work resulting in good scientific publications. These trained anatomists will enhance the dwindling number of qualified teachers in the subject.
