Instructors
Roberto Lopez-Rosado
Roberto López-Rosado earned a BSc in Biology from the University of Puerto Rico in 1993 and a MA in Anatomy in 1997 from the Universidad Central del Caribe, in his native Puerto Rico. He earned a Doctor of Physical Therapy from The Sage Colleges, New York, in 2008. In addition to teaching human anatomy for SPS, he teaches gross anatomy and neuroanatomy for Northwestern University’s Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) program and Master’s in Prosthetics and Orthotics program. His research focuses on study of muscle weakness in the lower extremity of individuals post-stroke and how these changes have an effect on their balance and risk for falls.

Overview of class
This is an online course on human anatomy, focusing on morphology and function. It follows both a regional and systems approach. All course content, activities, and assessments will be online learning activities and assessments. The course will also have a broad emphasis on clinical application that is applicable to all health care professions.
The course covers gross anatomy of the human body; therefore, images of human cadavers will be presented in your textbook, as well as in other course resources.
Readings are assigned from the Marieb, Wilhelm and Mallatt text.
This course will be conducted completely online. A technology fee will be added to tuition.

Optional Resources
Students are encouraged to invest in an anatomy atlas. This is a quick way to look up images without having to refer to your textbook. You can consult an atlas to see relationships among multiple anatomical structures in the same region. If you purchase the class textbook, make sure you explore the additional online resources available from the publisher, such as Mastering A&P, and assess your needs. I would recommend the following optional resources for other perspectives and views of the same structures:
Netter's Anatomy Atlas (Links to an external site will be provided)
Visible Body App (Links to an external site will be provided.)
