Thank you so much Yale university and Coursera! Such an incredible course.
It's a great way to review the anatomy through both videos and pictures of the cadaver. The progress of the courses are well designed. Thank you!
Anatomy of the Upper and Lower Extremities
This course has two main parts, one for the lower extremity and the other for the upper extremity. We will show how the various systems that supply and organize the limb control its function. There are a set of introductory lectures which will allow more experienced students to refresh their knowledge of the limbs and a guide to those with less experience. These lectures will be followed by detailed dissections of the extremities emphasizing locomotion for the lower extremities and hand positioning and function for the upper extremities. This course is part 2/4 in the Yale Human Anatomy Specialization.
Status: Patient Positioning

Reviewed May 9, 2023Of all the courses dealing with anatomy and physiology this is by far the best. Sometimes quite difficult , sometimes rather easy but always challenging and always making you think twice before you answer. I truly wished there were more such courses. I think the strength lies in the combination of pictures charts and textbook views with the real body. The gap is enormous to me who is without any clinical experience. Thank you so much!

Reviewed May 1, 2022I am really thankful to the Yale Medschool team for facilitating me to complete such an amazing course for free. I would request them to please look into my performance and allow me to attend other courses for free since I am a student and currently unemployed. I wish to come to Yale School of Medicine once I'll have the finances and meet my teachers in person!!
