About The Department
The Department of Anatomy at Tagore Medical College & hospital, Chennai was established in the year 2010. The department has highly experienced and dedicated faculty, state of art infrastructure and facilities to impart high quality, clinically relevant education in an experiential learning environment.
[/wc_column][wc_column size=”one-half” position=”last”]
Goals And Focus
MBBS students are given a sound grounding in gross and microanatomy along with developmental anatomy with its inherent anomalies for understanding the anatomical basis of various clinical problems and disease presentations. Several learning methodologies are adopted and initiated like small group teaching, vertical integration, interdisciplinary (professional) student interaction and improvement in the formative and summative evaluation.

Objectives
At the end of the course the student should be able to apply the anatomical knowledge acquired during the course to:
- Identify and locate all anatomical structures of the body.
- Establish the configuration of the surface of the body, especially in its relation to deeper parts.
- Distinguish various normal tissues under a microscope.
- Understand the normal development and identify the major congenital anomalies.
- Understand the principles of newer imaging techniques and interpretation of x-rays, computerized Tomography (CT) Scan, MRI, and sonograms.
- Understand the anatomical basis of common clinical problems and procedures i.e., intramuscular & intravenous injection, lumbar puncture and kidney biopsy etc.
Infrastructure

Stem cell research and its application
Research and Publications
Both the faculty and the students are encouraged to do research on advanced topics in anatomy and have the resources to do so. We enable them to plan investigative procedures for research, analyze data critically and derive logical conclusions. The research focus is on cadaveric studies of clinical relevance, experimental studies and medical education.
