Building A Case For Curriculum Expansion In Anatomy Education In Nigeria

Abstract

ABSTRACT

For some decades the curriculum of undergraduate programs in anatomy has been relatively static being centered and organized within the confines of a Medical School and being almost inseparable from medical education. However, these programs are organized science programs that should be made self-sufficient for the trainees for self-sustainability in the future, This paper outlines why and how the present undergraduate curriculum should be expanded by incorporating some courses and why these science departments should be morphologically positioned to truly present anatomy as a boundless discipline in the Biomedical Sciences.
