Clinical Gross Anatomy/Cross-Sectional Anatomy
Structural and functional study of human anatomy categorized by region and function. Major organs, lymphatics, vessels, and imaging are emphasized as related to the clinical significance in the field of radiation therapy. Teaching methods include lecture, class discussion, demonstration, and dissection/ examination of human cadavers. The course supplements the Gross Anatomy course for radiation therapy. Emphasis is placed on sectional anatomy with a concentration on anatomy in three dimensions.
Clinical Education
Students are provided clinical education through cooperative relationships with 16 cancer centers in the Central Texas region to provide a strong and diverse clinical foundation for the program. A major strength noted by the accreditation process has been the strong support of a large group of Clinical Supervisors.
