Mission
Statement
Advancement
of Biomedical Sciences through Basic Research:
The
advancement of both medical care and biological science
requires continuous research activity. It is strongly
felt that basic research activity must be fostered to
insure a high level of intellectual activity and faculty
morale. No department can maintain a faculty of high
quality without an adequate environment within which
to carry on research activities. An objective of the
Department of Anatomy and Cell Biology is, therefore,
to foster research activity in its faculty by providing
an environment conducive to productive and ongoing research
activities.
Training
in Morphology for Medical and Paramedical Personnel:
The
morphological sciences are essential disciplines for
the understanding of human biology and, in essence,
form the foundation for studies of function and disease
processes. They are, therefore, a requisite for the
practice of any of the healing arts. It is an objective
of the Department of Anatomy and Cell Biology to pursue
a continuing high level of excellence in the teaching
of morphological disciplines to professional and undergraduate
students in health-related fields.
Training
of Teachers and Researchers:
Faculty
of the Department of Anatomy and Cell Biology feel strongly
the need to perpetuate their discipline by the training
of graduate students so that highly qualified teachers
and researchers will be available for future demands
of biomedical education. It is, therefore, an objective
of the Department of Anatomy and Cell Biology to maintain
its dedication to the training of graduate students
in the morphological sciences.
A
Resource of Service for the University and Community:
It
is felt that basic biomedical science departments must
contribute to the welfare of their institutions by participating
in committee work, by providing instruction to students
of other departments and by providing a resource for continuing
medical education for physicians in practice.
Development
of Human Relationships within the Academic Community:
The
department is firmly committed to the principle that
the development and fostering of human relationships
must form a part of any academic program of excellence.
