Orhan Arslan

Associate Professor

biography

Dr. Orhan Arslan hold doctoral degrees in anatomy and neuroscience, as well as in veterinary medicine and surgery. He has a successful track record as a medical educator and academic leader.He has designed and implemented significant innovative curricular modules in clinical neuroscience and anatomy. These curricular innovation included a complete system-based anatomy and neuroanatomy courses, procedure-based, ultrasound-based and land mark based anatomy into the medical curriculum and a multidisciplinary board review modules that integrate neuroanatomy, anatomy, and embryology. Currently he is an Associate Professor and the Director of Advanced Neuroanatomy and Anatomy Programs in the Department of Pathology and Cell Biology at the University of South Florida Morsani College of Medicine, United States.
