The Anatomical Sciences and Biomedical Sciences Programs share a similar core curriculum. 35 credit hours are required to graduate from each program. Each program offers the potential for a guaranteed interview and provisional acceptance into LMU’s Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine Program. The programs differ in the number of Anatomy-intense courses that the student is required to take. Aside from the core curriculum, the Biomedical Sciences Program allows the student to choose from a variety of other courses to complete the graduation requirements, whereas the Anatomical Sciences Program requires the completion of more Anatomy-intense classes.

Each applicant to the Master of Science (MS) program is evaluated holistically by their chosen program's Admissions Committee. Committee members carefully consider each required element of the application package including interview, science course GPA, cumulative GPA, letters of recommendation and standardized test scores.

The Anatomy Department at DeBusk College of Osteopathic Medicine is proud to announce the creation of a unique PhD in Anatomical Education. Over the recent years, anatomical education faces a significant problem with the dwindling number of experienced anatomists due to the lack of anatomy educator training programs. The growing number of PA, PT, OT and DO programs around the United States compound the shortage of experienced educators to teach advanced levels of all the anatomical disciplines. 

This program is designed for students who currently hold a master's degree in the anatomical sciences and would like to pursue a doctoral level degree in anatomy education. This program will prepare students to teach in a variety of settings as well as provide a basis for continued research. https://www.lmunet.edu/debusk-college-of-osteopathic-medicine/phd-in-clinical-anatomy/
