Program Description
The Graduate Certificate in Clinical Anatomy program offers post-baccalaureate training in the anatomical sciences, a fundamental cornerstone for understanding health and disease. This program will provide students with an in-depth understanding of human anatomy and medical physiology, and the skills to apply this knowledge to teach or work in medical fields. All students completing the program will be knowledgeable in detailed human anatomy, embryology, histology, clinical imaging, and physiology. Completion of the Graduate Certificate courses will provide students with a strong foundation for medical school.

Academic and Technical Standards
To be eligible for the Graduate Certificate in Clinical Anatomy, students will need a minimum score of 70% at the end of the semester in each of the courses in order to pass that course. If a student fails a course, they would be allowed to move on to the second semester and become eligible for the certificate, but any failures will show on their transcript.
Learning Outcomes
Upon completion of the program, graduates will be able to:
- Demonstrate an advanced understanding of human anatomy, embryology, histology, and physiology with special emphasis on knowledge relevant to health professionals.
- Describe advanced anatomical knowledge as it relates to clinical imaging studies including fluoroscopy, radiology, CT scans, MRI, venous and arterial studies, cardiac studies, etc.
- Demonstrate interpersonal/interprofessional skills (such as student-staff and peer-peer communication), peer-active teamwork, and collaborative leadership, thereby fostering, identifying, and practicing the professional behavior(s) expected within the healthcare setting.
- Identify relevant landmarks and anatomical structures in the living and cadaveric body.
- Identify selected normal anatomical structures and features on medical images, including X-ray, CT scans, and MRI.
- Define and d
