Department also studies recent advances at the micro and gross level of human Anatomy.
The curriculum of Rachana Sharir comprises theory and practical sessions. Dissection of cadavers, demonstration of dry and wet specimens, models, the study of X-rays, use of microscopes are different ways of practical teaching. Didactic, small group teaching, open and closed-book tests, small projects, tutorials, surprise tests, presentations, seminars, horizontal and vertical teaching are various tools used for facilitating and assessment of the subject.
