ANATOMY 03048 COURSE POLICIES FALL 1999

Instructor:

Wilson Crone, Assistant Professor, HVCC Biology Department

303 Fitzgibbons, 629-7439, cronewil@hvcc.edu, http://www.hvcc.edu/academ/faculty/crone/index.html

Thursday: 12-1

Friday: 11-12 in Biology Study Center and 12-1

or by appointment

Grading Policies:

LECTURE counts as two-thirds (67%) of the course grade, or 600 of the total 900 points.

1. One 75 point exam: Thursday, September 16
2. Three 150 point exams: Tuesday, October 5; Tuesday, November 9; Finals week. While I try to make the tests non-cumulative, the second lecture test may include material covered in the first (shorter) one.
3. One 75 point anatomical"evidence-based medicine" correlation due Tuesday, November 23

LABORATORY counts as one third (33%) of the course grade, or 300 of the total 900 points.

1. Three 100 point non-cumulative lab practicals based on dissection materials, during weeks 5, 10, and 16

Attendance:

Students are expected to attend each lecture and laboratory and to be on time. Absences and late arrivals will be reported to the PA program. Students will be responsible for covering material that is missed due to an absence. If an exam is missed, it is the student's responsibility to arrange a make-up exam. Make-up exams will only be given with a valid, documented excuse and at the instructor's discretion.

WRITING/LIBRARY ASSIGNMENT

You may be familiar with the weekly clinicopathologic correlation in the New England Journal of Medicine. You may also be familiar with the phrase,"evidence-based medicine."I would like you to write a"clinicoanatomic correlation," with the use of three or more appropriately cited journal articles, web sites, or other non-textbook sources, that is within the context of evidence-based medicine. For example, what is the anatomical basis for carpal tunnel syndrome? Is repetitive motion the main cause of this syndrome in the US? What is the evidence for this? My approach is that if you can't find at least three reviews or other sources on it, it mustn't be a major issue! This report should represent a new synthesis that comes from your personal reading and understanding. I will give considerable leeway to the choice of topics and articles, but be sure to cover some aspect of anatomy, whether clinical or basic. Please consult with me when you have decided on a topic. You may explore any subject of interest, but I reserve the right to limit the number of students on one topic, e.g., I don' want to read six very similar versions of carpal tunnel syndrome! Possible journals for examination include: Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA), New England Journal of Medicine, Lancet, Family Physician, Clinical Anatomy, etc.

If you made copies of the articles or web sites while working on your report, please attach them to your report--I will return them. This report is due during Week 13, by 11/23/99 (Tuesday lecture before the Thanksgiving break) at the latest. This will give me time over the break to read them in depth and get them back to you by the following week. I will be glad to go over rough drafts with you during office hours or appointments. Feel free to hand in reports early!

Point value: This report is worth 75 points. Reports will be graded on the basis of completeness, accuracy, grammar, writing style, and difficulty level of articles/topic.

ANATOMY 03048 LABORATORY SCHEDULE FALL 1999

A laboratory fee will be collected at registration.

Students are requested to bring the following dissection materials: two #22 scalpel blades, gloves, lab coat or apron, and appropriate eye protection. Probes, etc. will be available in the morgue.

The structures listed in the lab objective sheets should be located on all four cadavers using the directions in Grant's Dissector.

Laboratory Regulations:

1. Students are expected to show respect for human remains at all times. Unprofessional conduct may result in the individual being dismissed from the course.
2. No picture-taking, radios, or unauthorized visitors.
3. No smoking, eating, or drinking in morgue.
4. Atlases, bones, models, and anatomical materials remain in the lab.
5. The property of the Mortuary Science Department should be left undisturbed.
6. Students should become familiar with the use of the fire extinguisher, eye wash station, suction pumps, and the clean-up equipment.
7. While working with cadavers, students are advised to wear regular eye glasses instead of their contact lenses. Also, students should wear eye protection (goggles, safety glasses, or prescription glasses with side shields).
8. For dissection work, a lab coat (or appropriate gear) should be worn to protect clothing and gloves should be worn to protect hands.
9. All anatomical waste must be placed in a specially marked plastic container. Paper towels are to be placed in a separately marked container.
10. An identification tag should remain on each cadaver at all times.
11. Do not contaminate eyes, skin, or personal articles with the cadaver preservative. Report chemical burns or cuts to the instructor.
12. The lab rooms are to be left clean at the end of the day. The cadavers must be carefully rewrapped and stored as demonstrated. The models, charts, and books are to be returned to the storage shelves. The dissection tables, floor, sinks, and refrigerator door must be cleaned.
13. Hands should be thoroughly washed at the end of the lab.

03048 LECTURE OBJECTIVES

For each non-cumulative lecture exam, the student should be able to explain the functional and/or clinical significance of each of the structures listed in the corresponding laboratory objectives. We will not be covering histology and neuroanatomy (or at least, not a lot of neuroanatomy) in the lab, so objectives for them are listed below. More importantly than knowing anatomy factoids is the ability to use anatomy to explain clinical situations. As a result, I will expect you to be able to understand and explain the following clinical scenarios/anatomical descriptions at the level that they are presented in your texts. Please note that I have"lumped" some categories, e.g., cranial nerve lesions imply all of them, CN I--XII. I have tried to write them down in the approximate order that they appear in the texts. Even though I have tried to be comprehensive, I reserve the right to modify this list slightly with the lecture test preview sheets.

03048 LABORATORY OBJECTIVES

For each non-cumulative laboratory exam, the student should be able to:

Name and locate on a cadaver, photographic slide, or (possibly) line drawing all of the anatomical structures listed in the laboratory objectives. In other words, laboratory tests will be strictly identification (and spelling!--see first laboratory exam preview sheet).
