The EVMS Master of Contemporary Human Anatomy program will become the EVMS Master of Anatomical Sciences effective Fall 2023.
The change reflects an effort to more accurately capture the comprehensive nature of this degree program and also moves EVMS in line with the most current naming conventions in the field.
It’s called "contemporary" because it’s learning the human body through medical imaging and dissection – a different perspective than scientists have used for the past 100 years in anatomy.
This three-semester program marries traditional sciences and classic anatomy coursework with emerging technologies, such as virtual dissection, 3D printing and plastination.
A master's in contemporary human anatomy will prepare students for a diverse array of further educational opportunities or job markets, including:
Freedom to select the electives and capstone project that best prepare you for your post-graduate goals.
Dissection experience at a ratio of 2 students to 1 anatomical donor (cadaver).
Options to serve as teaching assistants for courses in gross anatomy, ultrasound or histology.
Potential course exemptions if you matriculate into our Health Professions program.
Early in their careers, EVMS students learn to use this powerful and portable technology to look beneath the surface in real time.
Our physicians and scientists are leading the way in incorporating ultrasound into the curriculum, encouraging ultrasound use at the patient’s bedside and finding new applications for the technology — such as EVMS-led research that is accelerating the diagnosis of fetal heart problems.
In addition, EVMS researchers are developing training models and educational methodologies to prepare students to effectively use this emerging and evolving technology.
Students engage in a wide range of hands-on learning opportunities at EVMS.
Innovative tools like the virtual dissection table enable students to practice dissection techniques outside the cadaver lab.
