ANATOMY

Knowledge of the human anatomy plays a crucial role in the pursuit of a dental degree. The Department of Anatomy sprouted under the leadership of Dr. Rajarajeswari.P (MBBS, MD) during inception of MES medical college in 2004, when only MBBS course was offered. With the growth of this institution, the department has expanded to impart teaching and training programs in human anatomy to undergraduate, postgraduate dental students. The teaching is aimed at equipping students with knowledge for their clinical studies, enabling them to become competent and confident doctors in their future endeavours. The anatomy teaching in the department is a combination of didactic lectures, dissection and demonstration of cadavers, microscopic study of individual organs and teacher-student interactions in the form of seminars and symposia for which students are divided into groups. Lectures are made lively with the use of multimedia aids and devices. Students are encouraged to actively participate in teaching and learning process. Periodic evaluation is conducted so as to stimulate academic improvement.
