The instruction in gross human anatomy in tlie University of Michigan is so arranged that the required work for the diegre of Doctor of Medicine can be completed during the first year of the medical course. Students beginning October first and working half of each day are expected to compkte the dissection and the systematic study of the entire body by A pril fifteenth. After having satisfactorily completed this work the student is examined practically and theoretically over the whole body. A supplementary course of six weeks on regional and topographical anatomy is then offered for the special study of those features in anatomy that have direbt application to the practice of medicine and surgery. In the case of students expecting to follow a laboratory career it may be advisable that other work be substituted for fhe latter course and this can be arranged for on special application. It is for an anatomical course of this scope that this dissection guide is designed, and in it is outlined the work that can be accomplished by a properly trained student in that amount of available time. For convenience the body is divided bilaterally into three main regions, each requiring an equal amount of time for their completion. This makes three interchangeable dissection-periods of about eight weeks each. Since the beginner dissects slowly, ten wxeks may be allowed for the first period, and eight weeks for each of the remaining two. To aid the student in a proper diistribution of his time each period is subdivided into sections that indicate appoximately how much should be done each day where the given period is eight weeks long.
