Teaching responsibilities include conducting anatomy lectures and tutorials, supervising dissection and prosection sessions, demonstrating osteology, radiology, embryology, and histology specimens, assisting in student assessments, and maintaining academic records.

Support is provided through simplified explanations of complex anatomical concepts, use of diagrams and models, interactive teaching methods, regular revision sessions, guidance during dissections, and helping students correlate anatomy with clinical relevance.

Contribution includes assisting senior faculty in curriculum delivery, coordinating practical sessions, participating in departmental meetings, supporting examinations, and collaborating in academic planning and research activities.

Anatomy teaching is essential as it forms the foundation of clinical medicine, surgery, radiology, and diagnostics. Strong anatomical knowledge improves clinical reasoning, procedural safety, and patient outcomes.
