In-depth Study of Human Anatomy and Physiology


This course sequence consists of three, 4 quarter credit courses (total of 12 term credits), equivalent to 8 semester credits. Courses are taken in sequential order. Each course has lecture and lab components.

Lectures focus on physiology and rely on lecture videos, exercises and assigned reading. Labs focus on anatomy studied from a 3D interactive anatomy program, images and drawings and lab videos. We use weekly quizzes and tests to reinforce learning and test student’s knowledge in both lecture and labs.
