Developed by award-winning teachers in PSOM and delivered in partnership with the College of Liberal and Professional Studies (LPS), the Human Anatomy course series is designed for post-baccalaureate students interested in pursuing careers in health care, and covers anatomy, embryology, pathology, histology, and radiological imaging of various organ systems and regional anatomy. The flexible online platform provides an immersive multimedia experience with quizzes and clinical vignettes in an asynchronous format, so students can engage with coursework on a schedule that works for them.

*Academic credit is defined by the University of Pennsylvania as a course unit (c.u.). A course unit (c.u.) is a general measure of academic work over a period of time, typically a term (semester or summer). A c.u. (or a fraction of a c.u.) represents different types of academic work across different types of academic programs and is the basic unit of progress toward a degree. One c.u. is usually converted to a four-semester-hour course.
