At SEGi University’s Faculty of Medicine, learning extends far beyond lectures and textbooks. One of our most valuable assets is the Anatomy and Pathology Museum, along with the Anatomy Preparation Room that bring the intricacies of the human body to life in a tangible and impactful way.
The museum showcases an extensive collection of preserved specimens, anatomical models, and interactive exhibits covering all major body systems. A standout feature is our cadaver-based learning experience, which enables students to explore real human anatomy in exceptional detail. SEGi is among the few institutions in the country that offers hands-on cadaveric dissection training as early as the first year, a practice that significantly enhances surgical understanding during clinical training.
In addition to anatomy, the museum includes a wide array of pathology specimens that illustrate how various diseases affect organs and tissues. By examining both healthy and diseased samples side by side, students sharpen their diagnostic skills and gain a deeper insight into pathological knowledge that proves invaluable during their clinical years.
Integrated from the early stages of the MBBS curriculum, the museum supports both pre-clinical and clinical education. Students first establish a solid foundation in anatomy and then revisit these resources to reinforce their learning before starting hospital rotations.
With comprehensive facilities and support from experienced lecturers, medical scientists, and clinical consultants, we are committed to providing our students with the best possible learning environment. This immersive training equips them with the confidence and competence to thrive in real-world medical practice.
