Dr. Mansour teaches several courses in the professional DVM curriculum:

VMED 9111 Veterinary Anatomy I (4 credit hours – Fall Semester). This course provides students with a broad and solid foundation in mammalian anatomy. This team-taught course offers comprehensive details of the anatomy of dogs and cats. The course provides the clinical foundation for surgery and medicine of small animals as well as the basis for comparative anatomy of large animals taught in the spring. The students dissect their own cadavers under faculty supervision. Dissection cadavers are complemented by radiographs, models, prosections, fresh specimens, and plastinated specimens (enrollment 130 students).

VMED 9121 Veterinary Anatomy II (3 credit hours – Spring Semester). Dr. Mansour coordinates this team-taught course in the spring. The course teaches the anatomy of horses, ruminants, swine, and birds. The course offer hands-on dissection of fresh specimens (horse legs and birds) and demonstration of prosected specimens by the faculty. The laboratories are augmented by lectures and clinical presentations of applied anatomy. The course emphasizes structural-functional and clinical correlations that are important in large animal practice. The labs are supplemented by normal radiographs, skeletal materials, anatomical models, and live horse palpation (enrollment 130 students).

VMED 9502 (Elective). Dr. Mansour coordinates Advanced Anatomy: clinical & surgical skills as an elective offering in the fall semester (enrollment 10 students).
