Anatomy Education Program Description
The new Master's degree in Anatomy Education is an innovative cross-disciplinary program that combines existing resources at the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine to provide education and training specifically focused on preparing instructors of anatomy. The program will prepare graduates to teach human anatomy and related disciplines (including physiology and histology) at the community college level. This one year program provides in-depth training in human anatomy through lectures, small group exercises, and dissection laboratories. In-class and online training in human physiology and histology, as well as pedagogical techniques, is also included in the program. In addition to preparing for careers in education, the program is also appropriate for students who wish to go on to research or education support positions in anatomy, such as anatomy lab manager or surgical research coordinator.
