M2 Anatomy is a one week course within your Surgery and Applied Sciences Rotation. Within this course, concepts from your M1 foundational anatomy will be reinforced and new concepts of head and neck anatomy will be introduced. You will attend 3 half days in the anatomy laboratory and one 2-hour discussion session. Below are our expectations from you in this course.
Meet with anatomy faculty in the Lab 5 (3751 Med Sci II) at 1 pm (or 9 am) on your lab days
Review material and lab instructions before coming to lab
Be on time for the beginning of each lab (communicate with faculty if otherwise)
Honor the gift from each anatomical donor by being respectful in how you handle donors and the language you use in the lab
Make an effort to find every structure on the list
Keep your lab space tidy (complete cleaning checklist before leaving each day)
Wear appropriate lab clothing (e.g. scrubs, close-toed shoes, etc.) & PPE (mask). Disposable gowns, eye protection, and additional masks will be provided in the lab.
In the event of an excused absence from Lab Sessions, please do both of the following:
Remotely:
Prepare lab session(s) as if you were attending
Go through the lab manual and answer all of the questions
Write down your own questions to review in lab when you are able to return
Reach out to your lab faculty for the week with any questions
In person (if possible):
Review all structures from the lab(s) that you miss on your own (either during the time of the lab session that you can attend or on your own time)
Arrange with your lab faculty to ask any remaining questions
Review cases before attending the session
Be on time for the beginning of the session (communicate with faculty if otherwise)
Come prepared and participate in the discussion
In the event of an excused absence from the Discussion Session, please do one of the following:
Option 1: Attend and Participate via Zoom
Arrange with your classmates to set up a device for you to attend the session via Zoom (use the following link: https://umich.zoom.us/j/99289554122, password = m2anatomy)
Expectations for partipicating over Zoom:
Attend the call from a quiet location where your primary focus is participating in discussion
Do not call while driving, walking, or performing other activities
When possible, turn your camera on and unmute your audio
Option 2: Remote Make Up
Write out answers to all 'questions to consider' at the bottom of each page for each case (1-6) and send this to m2anatomy@umich.edu. Note the questions are not listed on the pdf version, click the link for individual cases to view them.
Reach out to your discussion faculty for the week with any questions
Option 3: In Person Make Up
Review upcoming schedule for M2 anatomy. There is a discussion session every 2 weeks. If your schedule allows it, email m2anatomy@umich.edu to tell us which date you will attend to make up the session.
Your final grade in the course will be determined by your efforts on the following:
Prelab video quizzes (you can take these as many times as you'd like and the highest grade will be displayed)
Preparation and participation for the Lab & Discussion sessions
Performance on the final assessment
30 Questions: 20 written multiple choice questions + 10 identification questions with images
60 minute time limit, open resource, 3 attempts
Only introduced concepts (head & neck anatomy) will be assessed

While APS is pass/fail, surgery receives a narrative assessment, grades 1-9, and pass/fail from anatomy. To pass, you are required to:
Complete all prelab quizzes
Attend (or remediate) the Lab & Discussion sessions
