Overall objectives:

ANATOMY: GENERAL OBJECTIVES

Meet the Human Body

Theoretical and practical learning of Normal Human Anatomy by systems and regions. This learning is done with functional guidance, integrating knowledge of Topographic and Applied Anatomy (clinical and imaging). The Anatomy Disciplinary Area program covers the teaching of general anatomy - General Anatomy - with the exception of the Central Nervous System and Estesiology; these matters, essentially Neuroanatomy, constitute the scope of the Chair of Neuroanatomy.

Become a University Student

Acquire the pedagogical baggage necessary for the subsequent deepening of the basic knowledge obtained and promote the capacity and motivation for their continuous updating, in the various specialized areas of pre- and postgraduate medicine.

Develop a Scientific Attitude

Stimulate the spirit of observation and scientific curiosity that allow us to distinguish what is frequent from what is rare and what is important from what is not, valuing individual variations and trying to clarify their meaning.

Learning to be a doctor

Introduction to the study of the Human Organism, the terminology and general methodology of Medical Sciences, as well as the ethical and scientific principles of medical conduct towards the human body observed dead or alive.
