Summer Histology - Harlem
All lectures will be delivered online live via Zoom.
A summer histology seminar by Dr. Luis Vidal
Course Description
Histology is the study of the microscopic anatomy of cells, tissues, and organs. In this 5-session course, the student will understand the microanatomy of the fundamental tissues of the human body and correlate structure with function. The student's mastery of the course material is essential for future basic science training.
The first half of the course covers the microanatomy of the cell including membranes, cytoplasmic organelles, intracellular trafficking, the nucleus, the genome, cell division, and cell cycle. In the second half the microanatomy and biology of epithelium, connective tissue (including blood and hemopoiesis) muscle, nerve tissue, cartilage, and bone are covered. Lectures are presented in a fact-based format and supported with laboratory exercises designed to demonstrate an understanding of the ideas and concepts delivered in the lecture.

Summer Embryology - Harlem
All lectures will be delivered online live via Zoom.
A summer embryology seminar by Dr. Luis Vidal
Course Description
Embryology is the study of the formation, development, and growth of a living organism. In this 5-session course, the student will understand the major aspects of human development. We will study the process of development from the moment of conception up to the moment of birth. While studying the transitional events that will take us from single-celled organisms to the growing fetus, we will examine the formation of some of the major systems in the body. In addition, you will be introduced to some common, and uncommon, birth defects which will provide you with an understanding of what happens when developmental missteps occur. The student’s mastery of the course material is essential for future basic science training.
The first series of lectures deals with the pre-fetal periods of development. We will discuss the formation of the gastrula, blastula, morula, and embryo. You will understand the formation of the embryonic germ layers and their adult derivatives. Following implantation, we will discuss the formation of the extraembryonic membranes, the formation of the placenta, and we will discuss the transition from the growing embryo to the developing fetus. Finally, we will examine the formation of some of the major body systems of the human fetus. Not all body systems will be discussed (because of time constraints) but the material presented in this course will serve as a solid foundation for your medical embryology course as well as other basic sciences courses (e.g. Histology, Neuroscience, & Gross Anatomy).
Course material will be presented in a fact-based lecture format and student participation on all topics is highly encouraged.

A summer anatomy course with professors Oana Rosenthal and Judithe LaBarge. This is a NON-CREDIT course.
Who should take this course?
This course is for those who have never taken an anatomy course or want to ease the pain of the first few weeks of medical school, by mastering the basics of anatomy. Anatomy at TouroCOM is an intensive 10-credit course which is taught in the first semester of medical school. This Summer Anatomy Course will prepare you for first semester Anatomy by providing a foundational understanding of anatomy and giving students a head start on the anatomy material.
Course Eligibility: This course is suitable for students entering the study of medicine heading to a D.O. or M.D. degree.
Course Description
Summer Anatomy is a four week course that is taught by the Touro College of Osteopathic Medicine faculty. This course covers Anatomic terminology and teaches Anatomy by regions. By the end of this course you will have a sound foundation of Anatomy. This course will also provide you with study techniques, and teach you how to answer multiple choice questions. There will be a lab component with demonstration of prosected cadavers and dissecting techniques. Classes will run Monday to Thursday from 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM. You will take a few exams that will not be graded, but are administered to give you an idea as to where you stand with understanding the material that is being presented.
This course will be held in person. There will be no Zoom/hybrid option available. As per school policies, those who plan on registering for the course have to be fully vaccinated to be allowed on campus. Students are also highly encouraged to be boosted due to the close proximity they will be in during the lab portion of the course. Inside of the anatomy lab, the students will be required to wear eye protection and to be double masked. Masks will need to be discarded each time you exit the anatomy lab, thus cloth masks are discouraged. If other requirements will be necessary due to changes in local COVID case numbers, registered students will be contacted by the course directors.

Summer Histology - Middletown
A summer histology seminar with Drs. Alex Braun and Fernando P. Bruno. This is a NON-CREDIT course.
Course Description
Histology is the study of the microscopic anatomy of cells, tissues and organs. In this four-day course the student will understand the microanatomy of the fundamental tissues of the human body and correlate structure with function. The student's mastery of the course material is essential for future basic science training. The course is equivalent to the introductory course taken by first year medical students across the United States and also provides excellent initial preparation for mastering shelf examinations in cell biology and histology examinations.
The course begins with an overview of histopathology techniques, also covering the microanatomy of the cell, including membranes, cytoplasmic organelles, intracellular trafficking, the nucleus, the genome, cell division and cell cycle. The course then evolves into the basic tissues of the body, covering the microanatomy and biology of epithelium, connective tissue (including cartilage, bone, blood and hemopoiesis), muscle and nerve tissue. Lectures are presented in a fact-based format and supported with laboratory exercises designed to demonstrate an understanding of the ideas and concepts delivered in lecture.
The 2022 course will be entirely online. Activities will include virtual lectures, small group discussions, and laboratory sessions.
Offered in parallel with the Summer Anatomy Program, it brings the perfect integration between gross anatomy and microanatomy.
