The Department of Neurobiology and Anatomy carries out much of the teaching of first- and second- year medical students, and first- year dental students, in the School of Medicine. Each of our courses is directed by an experienced senior faculty member, with the participation of two to three other faculty in lectures, laboratories and discussion. Graduate students act as teaching assistants for laboratory sessions in Human Gross Anatomy, Histology, and Medical Neuroanatomy.

Dental students are admitted through the Regional Dental Education Program.
