13 courses with the subject DAE, each shown exactly as we captured it from the college's catalog, with every element we hold. Where the wording looks broken, that is our reading of the catalog, not the college's text.
DAE 1001Clinical Human Gross Anatomy – Credit Hours10.0
Clinical Human Gross Anatomy involves study of the structure and function of the human body. The course includes lectures and laboratory sessions. The knowledge gained from these experiences lead the student to develop a fine appreciation for not only the structure of the human body, but also the interrelation of its parts. Throughout the course, emphasis is placed on structure-function relationships and the clinical applications of anatomical knowledge. The course includes a laboratory component with full anatomical dissection.
Embryology is the study of developmental anatomy, beginning with the development of gametes and fertilization through the time of birth. The Human Embryology course consists of an independent 17- hour lecture course. This course exposes the student to a detailed account of early development and development of the organ systems.
DAE 10031012, 2013, 2023, 3013, 3023, 4013, and 4023 Journal Club I – VIII – Credit Hour1.0
each The Journal Club course allows for analysis and discussion of recently published papers to facilitate the development of critical thinking, interpretation, and presentation skills. As the presenter, students prepare a PowerPoint and discuss the selected paper with the Anatomy Department. As an audience member, students are expected to read and critically analyze articles. A summary and associated questions for the presenter are submitted prior to attending the respective presentation. Students also present a research update to demonstrate their dissertation progress to the Department.
The Neuroanatomy course covers the basic structure, function, and dysfunction of the human nervous system. This course utilizes lectures, laboratories, independent study, and case studies to guide students to clinically important topics in neuroanatomy. The course includes content covering external and internal anatomy of the central nervous system, sensory and special sensory systems, motor systems, higher cognitive functions, and stroke syndromes.
Histology introduces the student to the structure and function of cells and the organization of cells into basic tissues. Emphasis is placed on the structural specialization, function, and interaction of cells in forming the four basic tissues, and the study of the structural arrangements of these basic tissues in organs. This course utilizes traditional optical microscopy and slide boxes. LECOM Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences Academic Catalog and Student Handbook 59
Physiology presents an integrated approach to the fundamental concepts of systems physiology and overall homeostatic balance. Basic physiological terminology and concepts are introduced, and clinically relevant examples of homeostatic control are presented. An overall understanding of the homeostatic functions of the autonomic nervous system and how physiological cell membranes regulate intercellular communication via ionic (electrical) conduction, as well as the maintenance of the body fluids, is essential to understanding the body as a whole. The cellular functioning of skeletal, cardiac, and smooth muscle is also discussed.
DAE 20012010, 3010, 3020, 4010 and 4020 Special Dissection/Advanced Anatomy I – VI – Credit
Hours 2.0 each The Special Dissection/Advanced Anatomy course provides students the opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of selected anatomical topics via independent study and dissection. Students complete a total of six dissections throughout the Doctorate in Anatomy Education program. Students choose selected readings from Anatomy, Histology, Embryology, and Neuroanatomy textbooks to complement the dissection. Findings are presented to the Anatomy Department at the end of the semester. DAE 2002 and 3011 Teaching Assistant: Gross Anatomy I and II – Credit Hours 7.0 The Teaching Assistant course provides students the opportunity to facilitate learning in the Gross Anatomy Lab. Students create pre-laboratory video introductions using cadaveric specimens designed to improve learning outcomes for medical students. Students attend all medical student laboratory sessions to assist with content comprehension and dissection. In addition, DAE students present specialized topics in the anatomical sciences to faculty. DAE 2003 and 2012 Research I and II – Credit Hours 3.0 The Research course provides students the opportunity to explore potential educational research topics, methods of data collection and analysis in preparation for their dissertation courses. Students develop a central theme, three research aims, and conduct a literature review to demonstrate the need and rationale for their dissertation topic. In addition, students use statistical software to analyze research data. DAE 2011 and 3021 Teaching Assistant: Neuroanatomy I and II – Credit Hours 2.5 each The Teaching Assistant course provides students the opportunity to facilitate learning in Neuroanatomy. Students create pre-laboratory video introductions designed to improve learning outcomes for medical students. Students attend six medical student laboratory sessions to assist students with content comprehension. During lab, students utilize gross brain specimens, myelinated slices, and white board drawings to improve the understanding of neuroanatomical content. In addition, DAE students present specialized topics in the anatomical sciences to faculty.
PhD students will develop a literature review, rationale, hypotheses and proposed aims for their dissertation study. Students will begin with an educational observation to identify an educational problem or issue needing researched or solved. From this observation, students will form a research question, review the literature to refine the research question, and generate researchable hypotheses. An extended literature review will also be conducted to support these steps, including problem identification, needs assessments, and project rationale.

DAE 30123022, 4001, and 4012 Thesis/Dissertation I – IV – Credit Hours 4.0 – 9.0 each
Thesis courses provide students the opportunity to design research aims, collect and statistically analyze data, and present findings. In addition, students prepare written and oral materials for the academic job search.
The Qualifying Exam provides senior students the opportunity to demonstrate expertise in the anatomical sciences (including anatomy, embryology, neuroanatomy, and histology) and medical education. Students are required to demonstrate the breadth and depth of their knowledge through essay- style responses.
The Teaching Practicum course allows senior students the opportunity to create and deliver four hours of histology lectures to Master of Medical Science students. Students gain experience writing course objectives and exam items in conjunction with the assigned lecture content.
The Dissertation Defense is the culmination of the Doctorate of Anatomy Education Program. Students present a public defense of their dissertation research followed by a private defense with the committee.
The Teaching Practicum course allows senior students the opportunity to create and deliver nine hours of anatomy and embryology lectures to Master of Medical Science students. Students gain experience writing course objectives and exam items in conjunction with the assigned lecture content. See Doctor of Medical Education Descriptions
