The department of anatomy at MIMC is committed to give quality education to undergraduates. The department was established in September 2016. Professor Dr. Muhammad Afzal Khan (MBBS, M. Phil Anatomy) was the first head of department. He had thirty-eight years’ experience of teaching anatomy in various medical colleges of public and private sectors and in Saudi Arabia. Development of anatomy department is itself a great challenge. The college administration had been very helpful and co-operative in this regard. Various sections of the department were developed to impart quality education. Gross anatomy is taught in the dissection hall with the aid of prosected specimens, models and bony skeletons. Dissection hall is provided with mortuary refrigerator which can accommodate six cadavers. The practical classes of microscopic anatomy are taught in the histology lab. The lab is well equipped with compound microscopes, closed circuit TV camera, and histology slides.

The students are also provided with opportunity to study anatomy with the help of models and bones, being displayed in the anatomy museum. There is also a small departmental library, keeping all the books on the subject. The young instructors / demonstrators serving the department are given privileges to prepare for the fellowship exam and up till now eight instructors have passed their part first fellowship exam in various specialties.

Presently the department is headed by Professor Dr. Athar Maqbool (MBBS, M. Phil Anatomy). He taught anatomy in various medical colleges of the Punjab for thirty-four years. The department is marching towards progress under his dynamic supervision.
