About Us

The department of anatomy is one of  thirty departments in the school of medicine that was established in 1987.The department works actively in two sections: education and research. In education part, the department trains undergraduate and post-graduate students in all faculties of KAUMS including: medicine, dentistry, para-medicine, hygiene, nursing and midwifery. Most investigations are done and managed in anatomical sciences research center (ASRC) by academic members of this department.The educational facilities of the department are dissection halls, hall of anatomic models located in the department and research laboratories in ASRC. There are different labs from cell culture to molecular biology, histology, reproductive biology, and neuroscience. Main research programs are stroke, reproductive system, stem cells and anatomical education.

The department of anatomy offers graduate programs leading to a Master of Science degree which will provide a unique research opportunity, a wealth of knowledge in a variety of topics and also will enrich students' experiences both in their academic knowledge and life. Currently, there are over 35 M.Sc. students who are admitted and more than 20 alumni by this department.
