DEPARTMENT OF ANATOMY OVERVIEW The
department of anatomy is one of the oldest departments in the faculty.
It has provided students with the general knowledge of the normal
structure of the human body with specific emphasis on the applied and
clinical aspect of the subject, to equip the student with understanding
the dynamics of diseases and their management. It has taught over the
years, medical, pharmacy, medical laboratory science students. It now has
a strong BSc (Anatomy) intercalated programme with the first graduate
coming out in 2002. The
department has been in the forefront in the application of recent advances
in technology and knowledge in the understanding and teaching of this
subject using internet, intranet CDs and VCDs/DVDs as media for electronic
learning. Its special website has University of Jos Human
Anatomy Lecture Series free to the entire world
at http://anatomyjos.tripod.com It
is our belief that the student will avail him/ her self with the various
facilities and staff in the department forwards meeting the standards
expected of a medical doctor of the 21st century and beyond. OBJECTIVES
At
the end of the courses in Anatomy, the student will be able to: 1.
Recognize the normal structure of the human body in terms of the
topographic, radiographic including scanning pictures and microanatomy 2.
Describe the embryological development of the human body and
explain the origins, effects and management of the malformations, which
occurs during development. 3.
Correlate the histological and cytological features of organs with
their function in the normal human body, with a view of understanding
pathological changes. 4.
Use computer technology to assist in the understanding of the
subject and explain the anatomical basis of diseases and their management. 5.
Apply the anatomical knowledge in his/her future professional work.
6.
Apply recent advances in the field of anatomy (molecular genetics,
histochemistry and in situ-hybridization histochemistry) in the
understanding of structural changes and disease and their management. TEACHING
AND LEARNING METHODS In
most university medical schools in the world, anatomy is learnt in two
modalities-models/dissections and lectures but in Jos we have more than 6
modalities as follows
Also
teaching modalities include the following Ø
Lectures
and seminars Ø
Practical
dissections sessions with simulated surgeries Ø
Living
anatomy laboratory to study surface anatomy and landmarks Ø
Clinical
demonstrations and Osteology tutorials Ø
Human
Anatomy Museum for prosected parts Ø
Electronic
learning via in-house produced and famous CD-ROMS Ø
Cyberlearning:
Internet lectures (all lectures are pasted on the world wide web
–departmental URL is http://anatomyjos.tripod.com Ø
Problem
based learning mainly for advanced anatomy class with data base provided
from electronic librabries, CD-ROMS and internet. EVALUATION
The
evaluation in anatomy involve 1.
Continuous assessment- this constitute 40% of the
main professional exams and involves practical written (essay and MCQ) and
oral assessments by internal examiners. 2.
Professional examination.
This is the 2nd or part II MBBS examination in anatomy.
It also involves, written (Essay and MCQ) and oral assessment by
internal and external examiners. 200L
