The department teaches courses in human Anatomy and clinical Embryology. Courses are taught in all types of medical and non-medical (health care) degree programs at undergraduate and post graduate levels.

Anatomy courses for students of the General Medicine degree take place over four semesters and consist of a theoretical component (lectures) plus practical tuition based on anatomic dissection.

Anatomical specimens are produced and contribute to a growing museum of anatomical exhibits. We use cadavers, plastinated prosections and 3D models demonstrating the topography of organ structures; these can also be used in surgery training.

The Department, in conjunction with orthopedic department collaborated in execution of the first cadaveric lab at Mansoura University that enabled the trainee to design and test new techniques and methods for foot an ankle surgery.

Courses in human anatomy at the Faculty of Medicine also use new methods involving computer software, multimedia 3D projections and artificial specimens. Footage from autopsies can be transmitted from the autopsy room directly to teaching rooms using modern camera/data transfer systems.
