The Department of Human Anatomy at Federal University Birnin Kebbi (FUBK) was established in 2017, originally serving as the foundation for anatomy education within the university’s nursing program. Since its inception, the department has grown significantly in both scope and capacity. Today, it provides comprehensive anatomy education not only to nursing students but also to those pursuing MBBS, BSc Anatomy, and BSc Physiology degrees. The department is equipped with state-of-the-art facilities that support hands-on, practical learning and research. These include a Gross Dissection Laboratory, where students gain in-depth knowledge of human body structures through dissection; a Histology Laboratory for microscopy, offering students the opportunity to study tissues at the cellular level; and an Anatomy Museum, which houses a collection of anatomical models and specimens for educational purposes. In addition to foundational skills such as dissection, tissue processing, and microscopy, students are trained in radiological anatomy, learning how to interpret medical imaging. The curriculum also emphasizes advanced areas such as molecular and cell biology, forensic anthropology, image analysis, and sports anatomy, preparing students for diverse careers in medicine, research, and allied health sciences. Since its establishment, the Department of Human Anatomy has continued to expand its academic offerings and facilities, cementing its place as a key contributor to the education of future healthcare professionals at FUBK
