Ohio University Heritage College of Osteopathic Medicine Catalog 2014-2015

OCOM 6001x - Clinical Anatomy Immersion


The Clinical Anatomy Immersion allows all enteringHeritage College students, regardless of their curricular track, to begin their training together, immersed for roughly five weeks in clinically-oriented study of human gross anatomy, with an integrated introduction to osteopathic manipulative medicine. At the core of the course are the laboratory activities. Students will participate in up to four three-hour gross anatomy labs each week. These activities involve dissection of human cadavers, imaging studies, and discussion of clinical anatomy in an interactive laboratory setting. The structure of the human body is presented in a clinically relevant manner, providing correlations of normal anatomy to common disease states. The ultimate goal is to enhance clinical reasoning in the context of human gross anatomy. One to two one-hour Anatomy/Palpation labs will occur each week to correlate with the anatomy dissections and landmark identification. Wednesdays are spent in the OMM lab with an introduction to relevant osteopathic manipulative diagnostic skills.
