Anatomy Certificate Program
The Anatomy Certificate is a graduate (post-baccalaureate) certificate program that provides students an opportunity to become proficient in anatomy teaching and will allow them to compete more effectively for jobs. Students must be currently enrolled in the MBBS program or another anatomically-based graduate degree program at SIUC (e.g. Biological Sciences, Anthropology or Zoology). However, others will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis. Prerequisites such as embryology and basic vertebrate anatomy are preferred, but other courses may qualify. To apply, contact Chelsea Griffith, the Director of the Anatomy Certificate Program.
Curriculum
In addition to coursework in anatomy, students in the Anatomy Certificate program will obtain experience teaching gross anatomy to undergraduate and/or graduate students at the PHSL 301, PHSL 401A/B or PHSL 521A/B level. A minimum of 17 graduate credit hours are required, which include:
- MBBS 521A & 521B Advanced Clinical Anatomy with Lab
- MBBS 509 Advanced Mammalian Histology
- Either MBBS 514 Advanced Neuroanatomy with Lab or MBBS 503 Advanced Human Embryology
