Course Idea:  The course focuses on the human anatomy as a basic science necessary for medical and paramedical practice. 
Course Objectives:at the end of this course the students should have the basic anatomical knowledge about the different anatomical regions of the human body.
Supervisor Philosophy:Dr. Berika aims at making Anatomy interesting, and of direct ap­plication to physical therapy. The bare and dry Anatomy usually tends rapidly to disappear into forgetfulness. The supervisor links the text of this course with audio-visual graphs and animations to enable the students to grasp a real imagination that is essential for safe medical practice. These imaginations will be linked to reality in the dissecting rooms.
