The Department of Anatomy at UMDC is one of the key pillars of medical and dental education. Since its establishment, it has played an important role in shaping the foundation of future doctors and dentists. Through a well-structured curriculum the department provides students with complete knowledge of the human body, ensuring they are fully prepared for their clinical journey.

The program covers different areas such as:

• General Anatomy
• Histology
• Embryology
• Neuroanatomy
• Gross Anatomy

This combination helps students in both the MBBS and BDS programs under the Department of Anatomy to understand theory and practice in a clear and meaningful way.

Vision & Mission

Our vision is to provide quality human anatomy education at UMDC that meets international standards. We aim to prepare students who not only understand the structure of the human body but can also apply this knowledge in patient care and research.

The mission of the department is to:

• Deliver updated and student-focused teaching methods
• Encourage research and problem-solving skills
• Connect anatomical knowledge with real-life clinical practice

Objectives

The main objectives of the Department of Anatomy are:

• To provide a strong basic knowledge of human anatomy to MBBS and BDS students
• To use modern teaching tools such as cadaver dissection, microscopy and lab-based practice
• To develop critical thinking, teamwork and professional ethics among students

Facilities

The department is equipped with advanced facilities to make learning easier and more interactive. Some of the key features include:

• Fully equipped dissection halls for practical learning
• Histology labs with modern microscopes
• Embryology models and charts for clear understanding
• A well-organized anatomy museum displaying specimens and models
• Audio-visual teaching aids to support lectures and tutorials

These facilities ensure that students get both hands-on experience and strong theoretical knowledge. The hands-on training helps learners gain confidence and skill for real-world application.

Anatomy for MBBS Students

At UMDC, anatomy is an important subject for MBBS students during the first two years of study. The course is designed to help students understand the structure of the human body in both theory and practice. It includes:

• A broad introduction to human anatomy
• Cadaver dissection for practical knowledge
• Lab sessions with histology and microscopy
• Clinical links to prepare for future rotations

This approach builds a strong base in anatomy that supports further learning in subjects like physiology, pathology, surgery and clinical practice.

Anatomy for BDS Students

For BDS students, anatomy is taught in the first year with special focus on areas needed in dental education. The program covers:

• Basic human anatomy with attention to the head and neck
• Dissection and lab practice for clear understanding
• Histology and embryology related to dental sciences

This Anatomy subject in BDS curriculum ensures that students gain the anatomical knowledge required for dental procedures such as oral surgery, prosthodontics and orthodontics.

Our Commitment

The Department of Anatomy at UMDC is dedicated to providing modern and student-centered learning. The department focuses on:

• Ethical and professional growth of students
• Research-based and practical learning
• Leadership and critical thinking skills
• Advanced labs and updated teaching tools

We welcome aspiring doctors and dentists to be part of this learning journey. At UMDC, we believe that every step toward becoming a skilled healthcare professional begins with a clear understanding of human anatomy.
