Introduction
“Anatomy forms the basic fabric upon which all other medical sciences are embroidered to produce a wonderful tapestry of the field of medicine”
The subject of Anatomy is related to the normal structure of the human body. Its teaching commences at the time of induction into a medical college and continues for the first two years. During this period, students appear twice for university examinations (First and Second Professional MBBS).
In order to enable the students understand the normal structure of human body through a thorough teaching of the subject of Anatomy, the Wah Medical College has established a department as per rules and regulations laid down by PMDC and NUMS. The affiliation between WMC and the Department of Anatomy goes as far back as the inception of the college, as its establishment was one of the first steps taken by WMC and maintenance of its high standards is one of its ongoing objectives, for which the administration of the college and the faculty work as a team tirelessly.
