offered where necessary. Computer-aided instruction is
available as well, to assist students learning anatomy. The
student is expected to learn anatomical terminology, three-
dimensional anatomy, and begin studying clinical
correlations. The latter continues to become a more integral

begins with a study of the structure/function of normal
cells and tissues. This information is then used to study
the microscopic structure/function of all the organ systems
which form the body. Wherever possible, the microscopic
structure of the organ system being studied is related to
the study of the same organ system in other anatomy courses,
as well as to the other basic science disciplines and the
profession of Osteopathic medicine. Students are evaluated

clinical situation will be examined using a series of five
questions: (1) What is the clinical presentation? (2) What
diagnostic tests can confirm your hypothesis? (3) How is
this differentiated from closely related diseases? (4) What
is the etiology, pathophysiology and prognosis if left
untreated of this disease? (5) How is this disease treated?
(6) How is this disease monitored and managed over time?
Students, working either individually or in groups, are
advised to develop responses for each of the objectives.
