NURS 5111 Advanced Anatomy
This course in foundational didactic and human dissection is designed to facilitate a thorough understanding of human anatomy. Building on basic knowledge attained in undergraduate nursing courses, this course expands the understanding and integration of human anatomy into clinical practice of the advanced practice nurse. This knowledge is expected to enhance understanding of human anatomy across the spectrum in the student’s advanced practice didactic and clinical settings. The course will be presented in different modalities including didactic lectures and laboratory experiences comprised of cadaveric pro-sections and dissections with the assistance of expert anatomists, a web-based dissecting guide and a learning platform. Clinical application of anatomical structures for each advanced practice nursing specialty and operational readiness issues will be discussed throughout the course.
