We'd like to tell you about our program and the essential role it plays in training future physicians and helping them perfect their clinical skills and develop new medical procedures.

Duke Medical School is rated as one of the top five medical schools in the country and Duke Medical Center is internationally known and respected.

"The study of anatomy is a keystone in the foundation of a physician's education. We never stop learning, and the human body inspires us to investigate, learn and apply new knowledge in order to enhance all aspects of medical care. It is fully commensurate with Duke core missions of excellent patient care, innovative education and translational research."
