This undergraduate course is designed to teach human anatomy through cadaver specimens, radiographs, CT scans and MRIs with emphasis on the understanding of common sports injuries of the head and neck, and their related causes, relevant anatomy, treatment, rehabilitation and prevention. The course divides the anatomy of the head and neck into five areas; each area will be presented in a two-week block. Students will develop an understanding of human anatomy through the identification of relevant structures on cadaver specimens and on apps such as Complete Anatomy and the 3D Anatomy Table, then utilizing this knowledge, in the interpretation of radiographs, CT scans and MRIs. Group projects and presentations focus on the understanding of the anatomy and treatment of these injuries, while aiding students in developing basic rhetorical skills and comfort in sharing their projects with the class. The class is limited to SURG 20 students.
