Department of Anatomy

Overview

The Department of Anatomy at Ram Krishna Medical College, Hospital and Research Centre forms the foundation of medical education by providing detailed understanding of the structure, organization and clinical relevance of the human body.

The department is supported by a spacious dissection hall, histology laboratory, osteology section, embryology teaching material, anatomy museum, departmental library, demonstration room, practical laboratories, clinical anatomy teaching and UG/PG academic training facilities.
