Departmental Objectives
At the end of the Anatomy course, the students should be able to:
 mention, identify, show, draw and describe the anatomical structure of the human body responsible
for carrying out normal body functions.
 apply the acquired knowledge to understand and correlate the other pre-clinical, para-clinical and
clinical medical subjects.
 execute the acquired knowledge of Anatomy with the knowledge of other medical subjects to
provide optimum health services in the country and abroad.
List of Competencies to acquire:
 Ability to demonstrate knowledge & skill of understanding human anatomy, functions of different
components of human body, cell biology and human development in clinical perspective.
 Ability to utilize knowledge and skill of understanding of spatial relationship, course &
