Program Overview
The School of Medicine and School of Graduate Studies partner to offer a dual degree for the Applied Anatomy, MS and Doctor of Medicine degrees. Applicants should make separate application for admission to the School of Medicine and the Applied Anatomy Program (through the School of Graduate Studies). Applications to the Department of Applied Anatomy may include MCAT scores rather than GRE scores, in addition to other information indicated on the graduate school forms.
Program Requirements
Students seeking advanced training in the anatomical sciences may begin the 30 credit hour master’s degree program in the fall or spring semester of the first year of medical school. Required graduate courses include the anatomical sciences core curriculum, completed during the first two years of medical school, and an advanced surgical anatomy course taken in the fourth year. Students earn the remaining credits through elective courses. Completion of a thesis is not required, but students may undertake independent research experiences as electives; a thesis-based program also is available. Interested medical students must apply to the master’s program through the Department of Anatomy.
