Department of Anatomy

Department of Anatomy is one of the first department to be established at Assam Medical College on 3rd Nov 1947 in the erstwhile building left by American Base Hospital. Professor SK Basu, a reputed professor of Anatomy from medical college in Calcutta was the first head of the department appointed on contract basis. Prof O Lyngdoh was the first HOD appointed as a regular teacher. Under leadership of dedicated teachers, the department has provided a strong foundation to the medical students through ages.

The Diagnostic Genetic Lab was established in 2010 in the Department of Anatomy, AMCH, Dibrugarh, Assam. This lab was sponsored by the Department of Biotechnology, Government of India. Instead of traveling outside of the state for the services of genetic tests and genetic counseling, patients can take advantage of the Diagnostic Genetic Lab's facilities for genetic condition diagnosis and management. Diagnostic Genetic Laboratory of Assam Medical College, Dibrugarh has been providing its service since 2011 in the field of cytogenetic and molecular diagnosis technology.

Vision of department: - Our vision is to produce well-rounded, confident and responsible Indian Medical Graduate who aspire to achieve their full potential.
