Education is a primary strength of the Department
of Cell Biology and Anatomy. Our rapidly growing research
group provides an atmosphere of strong mentorship for the graduate
programs of the department as well as providing excellent training
for the students of Texas College of Osteopathic Medicine and the
Physicians Assistant Studies Program.
Medical Education:
Gross Anatomy - including a computerized laboratory,
providing students with programming developed in our department.
Strong participation in multiple phases of Integrated
Medical Curriculum with particular strengths in endocrine systems
and neurobiology.
Graduate Education:
Science Education (MS) - developed to help enhance
science education at the middle and high school levels by providing
secondary educators with a better understanding of the current
scientific environment and advanced techniques for use in classroom
teaching.
Cell Biology and Anatomy (MS/PhD) - Students in
this program are exposed to the wide range of cell biology interests
of the faculty ranging from basic research on the eye to the
applied science of the forensic genetics. Teaching is emphasized,
especially for gross and neuro- anatomy, giving students the
opportunity to develop a wide range of marketable skills.
