Included are courses in Gross Anatomy and Embryology, Microscopic Anatomy and Neuroscience. These are laboratory courses which involve the staffing of multiple labs to accommodate all students and delivery of relevant lectures.<\/p>\n<p>The Department has a dedicated core of approximately 12 faculty who direct and teach in these courses with many having multiple assignments. In addition, the department offers a <a href=\"https:\/\/lsom.uthscsa.edu\/dcsa\/education\/masters-program\/\"><strong>Masters track<\/strong><\/a> in Anatomy that prepares students for a variety of academic and professional careers. The department and its faculty continue to be recognized for superb courses and teaching efforts. Innovative teaching projects are a major interest and focus to further enhance our teaching mission.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/3&#8243;] \n        <a class=\"panel no-equilizer panel-mobile text-center colorized colorized-patientcare\" href=\"https:\/\/lsom.uthscsa.edu\/dcsa\/education\/teaching-in-the-health-professions\/thp-courses\/\" title=\"\" target=\"\">\n            <span class=\"circle close2x mid-icon\"><span><i class=\"icon-uth-shield\"><\/i><\/span><\/span><br>\n            <h3 >THP Courses<\/h3>\n            <p><\/p>\n        <\/a> \n        <a class=\"panel no-equilizer panel-mobile text-center colorized colorized-academics\" href=\"https:\/\/lsom.uthscsa.edu\/dcsa\/education\/teaching-health-professions\/thp-facilities\/\" title=\"\" target=\"\">\n            <span class=\"circle close2x mid-icon\"><span><i class=\"icon-uth-shield\"><\/i><\/span><\/span><br>\n            <h3 >THP Facilities<\/h3>\n            <p><\/p>\n        <\/a> \n        <a class=\"panel no-equilizer panel-mobile text-center colorized\" href=\"https:\/\/lsom.uthscsa.edu\/dcsa\/education\/teaching-health-professions\/faculty\/\" title=\"THP Faculty\" target=\"\">\n            <span class=\"circle close2x mid-icon\"><span><i class=\"icon-uth-shield\"><\/i><\/span><\/span><br>\n            <h3 >THP Faculty<\/h3>\n            <p><\/p>\n        <\/a>[\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row][vc_column width=&#8221;2\/3&#8243;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;]The Department of Cell Systems &amp;
