Armando Rosales

Armando Rosales, M.D., serves as Associate Professor at the Center for Anatomical Sciences within the College of Biomedical and Translational Sciences at the University of North Texas Health Science Center. With 35 years of surgical experience, he directs gross anatomy laboratories for medical students and co-instructs anatomy courses across physical therapy, physician assistant, and graduate programs.

Education:

• B.S. from University of Santo Tomas, Philippines
• M.D. from University of Santo Tomas, Philippines
• General Surgery Residency at Capitol Medical Center, Philippines
• Medical Sciences Fellowship at University of Hong Kong

Research Focus: Dr. Rosales investigates human anatomical variations with direct clinical and surgical implications through detailed cadaveric studies. His work bridges foundational anatomy with practical medical applications, emphasizing structures where variations critically impact surgical outcomes and diagnostic procedures.

Publication Trends: Recent works (2013-2016) consistently explore rare anatomical variants across multiple body systems, with recurring themes in neurovascular structures, muscular anomalies, and renal pathologies. These studies demonstrate methodological emphasis on case reports and cadaveric investigations to document clinically significant variations.

Academic Contributions: He teaches eight distinct anatomy courses across medical, physical therapy, and physician assistant programs while leading outreach initiatives that provide K-12 students hands-on medical school experiences. His laboratory direction encompasses all first-year medical student gross anatomy instruction.

Center Involvement: As integral to the Center for Anatomical Sciences, Dr. Rosales contributes to educational programming and community outreach through TABS, Mentors for Life, JAMP summer programs, and Anatomy Pre-matriculation Workshops.
