The Master of Science Program in Modern Human Anatomy (MHA) provides graduate level training and teaching experience in the physical and virtual anatomical sciences. The curriculum integrates 3D computer imaging and modeling with dissection of human anatomical donors, neuroanatomy, histology, and embryology.

MHA Students Are Campus Leaders
Two MHA Students Serve the CU-Anschutz Campus on Student Senate
Sep 23, 2026
MHA students make up one third of the CU-Anschutz Student Senate. 2nd year MHA student, Lorena Barb (left), is the 2026-2027 Student Senate President, and fellow 2nd year student, Muazzam Ramziddin (right), is the Student Senate Vice President of Justice, Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (JEDI). Lorena enjoys fostering campus connections between programs, and Muazzam focuses on bringing students from different backgrounds together to ensure student voices are heard. Enjoy the article in CU Campus Insider written by Kiley Carroll to learn more about the Student Senate:
The MSMHA program was a great experience, with great faculty that serve as mentors and encourage you to explore things you are intellectually curious about. The program prepared me well for medical school and beyond. The flexibility of the second year curriculum allowed me to explore my interests and led me to the medical specialty of anatomic and clinical pathology. The strong foundation in the anatomic sciences that was built in this program is put into practice daily, from gross dissection of surgical specimens, to using microscopic anatomy when I look at glass slides to render a pathologic diagnosis for patient care. Not only do I use my anatomic training daily, I am using the training I received in various imaging modalities and technologies to understand current innovations in digital pathology and the utility of imaging combined with informatics to improve diagnostic accuracy. It's an exciting time to be an anatomist!
