Department of Anatomy

The Department of Anatomy manages the operation of the human anatomy laboratories at each of PCOM's campus locations. The department is responsible for educational advancement while creating a safe teaching environment for students to develop skills in each human anatomy laboratory.

The very essence of anatomical learning is the dissection of the cadaver, an experience offered to medical and graduate students, as well as other approved programs. The ultimate gift of body donation remains essential to this unique instruction. At PCOM, we recognize the importance of physical cadaver dissection and the utilization of models in addition to online learning modules. Our department members operate their respective campus location's body donor programs, making these human anatomy courses possible.
