Compiling clinical anatomy is indeed an exciting exercise but it has its own limitations. To start with for the first MBBS student who has not been initiated into clinical subjects appreciating the basis of anatomical aspects for a particular condition leaves much to be conveyed by the faculty.
The approach and emphasis by an anatomist on a clinical matter requires subtle method of highlighting the underlying anatomical concept for the clinical condition. For the final MBBS student the emphasis is more on the clinical aspect while the anatomical concept remains unexplored or ill-understood. Here again the faculty has to match the two e.g. the anatomical concept and the clinical condition. Clinical Anatomy is an effort to stimulate the students and the faculty alike to understand and appreciate the relationship between anatomical facts and its clinical relevance.
Dr. R K Zargar took up anatomy as career in 1969. His passion for teaching never dwindled as he climbed the rungs. He taught in his alma mater Pt. JNM Medical College Raipur before joining AFMC Pune in 1975. He retired on 31 Dec. 2005 having spent 30 years at AFMC. During his long association with AFMC, he brought in many changes in the teaching-learning of anatomy. This was in the wake of compression of 1st MBBS. This book on embryology is one of such efforts ably supported by his student and colleague Major (retd.) Nilima Jam. Dr. Zargar has academic and co-curricular achievements matching his compassion towards his students. Presently, he is associated with Sinhgad Technical Education Society s Medical campus in Pune.

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
