Department of Anatomy & History of Medicine came into existence in 1956, as one of the first departments, in the All India Institute of Medical Sciences. It occupies parts of first and ground floors of the pre-clinical block of the Institute. Major activities are centred around teaching and research. In addition some of the laboratories provide hospital service. As a service to the public embalming for transportation of dead bodies is also undertaken by the Department.
Students for MBBS course, BSc Human Biology, BSc Honours Nursing and Post certificate Nursing are admitted once a year. Postgraduate students in MS Anatomy, MSc Anatomy, PhD are admitted twice a year. In addition a large number of training courses and short training in various techniques and specialities are provided. AIIMS is the first institution to start one year course in Anatomy and has contributed to developing the syllabus for other Medical Colleges in India recommend by Medical Council of India. State of art teaching technology is adopted in teaching and learning of all the subspecialities of Anatomy.
Both basic and applied research on experimental and clinical materials are done in various laboratories. Genetics and Experimental Immunology laboratories use mainly clinical materials for research, though parallel studies are done on tissue culture too. Developmental Neurobiology Research is on abortuses obtained from AIIMS and other Government hospitals and experimental animals. Neural transplant models are also used to developmental mechanisms. Embryo culture and Experimental animals are used for Neurotoxicology research.
1. E/M National Facility: Sophisticated Instrumentation Facility Funded by DST of Transmission and ScanningElectronmicroscopy. Two structured training courses are conducted yearly on state of art techniques and application of E/M in Biological Sciences for technicians and scientists respectively. Facility is used by Scientists from all over the country. Prof. Wadhwa or Dr. T. K. Das can be contacted for more information.
2. Confocal Laser Microscopy: All the Departments at AIIMS have access to this Microscope.
3. Computerized Image Analysis
4. Molecular & Cytogenetic Diagnostic Laboratory
5. Embalming of Human bodies
