The Department of Anatomy is responsible for lectures in human developmental biology and gross anatomy, as well as practical courses in osteology and human cadaver dissection.

Anatomy is the discipline that provides a precise understanding of the structure of the human body and forms an unshakable foundation of medicine. Dissection courses, in particular, are made possible by the noble decision of individuals who donate their bodies for education and research, and by the deep kindness and support of their families. Through our lectures and practical sessions, we place utmost importance on fostering a sense of respect and gratitude for these donors and cultivating a strong sense of responsibility entrusted to our students.

The experience of carefully dissecting tissues with one’s own hands and identifying anatomical structures is an invaluable opportunity to refine the ability to “observe things correctly.” This training contributes directly to the formation of clinical reasoning as a physician and to the development of a critical eye as a researcher. In our anatomical education, we place great value on these essential aspects of learning as we train the next generation of professionals who will lead future medicine and life sciences.
