Undergraduate Courses (Columbian College of Arts and Sciences)

*New Minor in Human Anatomy - Click Here for Details*

ANAT 130 - Human Embryology (Dr. Johnson): Lectures cover development of basic organ systems, with an emphasis on congenital birth defects. Students will also be introduced to topics including molecular control of development and assisted reproductive technologies. Includes computer animations of human development and laboratory demonstrations in the Medical School; offered every Spring semester.

ANAT 150 - Human Microscopic Anatomy (Dr. Krum): The course is designed to provide a basic background in the normal histological structure of cells, tissues and organs of the human body. Because there is an inseparable relationship between structure and function, emphasis is placed on structural-functional correlates at both the light and electron microscopic levels. Descriptions of alterations in normal histology through disease or injury provide an understanding of the etiology of various disease states; offered every Spring semester.

ANAT 160 - Human Functional Neuroanatomy (Dr. Bohn): The course explores the structure-function relationships of the human central (CNS) and peripheral (PNS) nervous systems and will introduce common clinical correlations, i.e., diseases or injuries whose occurrence or expression has an abnormal impact on the normal structure-function relationship. Demonstrations in laboratory sessions in the Medical School add a unique and enriching dimension to the course content; offered every Spring semester.

ANAT 181 - Human Gross Anatomy (Drs. Walsh and Slaby): The course is designed to provide a broad appreciation for the structural organization of the human body and to relate the organization to regional and systems-related functions. Descriptions of alterations in normal anatomy through disease or injury reinforce the significance of the anatomical structure/function relationships. Lecture material is supplemented with laboratory demonstrations in the Gross Anatomy Laboratory of the Medical School; offered every Spring semester.

Graduate Courses (Institute for Biomedical Sciences)

ANAT 221 - Special Topics in Stem Cell Biology (Dr. Moody): Recent research papers and work-in-progress reports are presented by students and faculty members, and discussed in depth to understand new findings and technologies; offered every Fall semester. 2008; 2007

ANAT 222 - Advanced Research in Stem Cell Biology and Regenerative Medicine (Dr. Moody): Faculty members and speakers from other institutions are invited to present their recent research findings to the GWU community, and students discuss this work in depth; offered every Spring semester. 2009; 2008; 2007; 2006; 2005

BMSC 212 - Cell Biology (Dr. Hawley): IBS core curriculum course. Provides the background in cell biology necessary for advanced training in the biomedical sciences; introduces students to the research areas of faculty in the three Ph.D. programs; offered every Spring semester to first year Ph.D. students.2009; 2008; 2007; 2006

BMSC 215 - Laboratory Rotations (Dr. Chiaramello): IBS core curriculum course; offered every Fall and Spring semesters to first year Ph.D. students.

Graduate Courses (Health Sciences Programs - Doctor of Physical Therapy)

PT 403 - Functional Anatomy (Dr. Bohn): Human gross anatomy lecture and laboratory with cadaveric dissection; clinical correlations; normal structures and functional relationships; common abnormalities and individual and age-related differences; offered every Spring semester to first year DPT students.

PT 405 - Functional Neuroanatomy (Dr. Bohn): Lecture/laboratory; normal structure and function of the nervous system across the life span; injury to neural structures; response to injury and rehabilitation; clinical correlations; offered every Summer semester to first year DPT students.
