Anatomy Classes

Anatomy classes are taught at Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital to the surgical interns in the hospital's new anatomy class lab. The class is normally taught by Dr. Meredith Grey, although occasionally another surgeon takes her place.
==Shown Classes==
*After taking over the class from Bailey, Meredith gave an introductory class to mark their fresh start. She told her interns to forget everything they knew about anatomy and look at the cadavers as if they'd never seen a human body before. The interns were assigned a cadaver per group of two or three people and Meredith showed them how to make a cut below the xiphoid process.Sledgehammer, 12x01
*During the second class, Meredith taught the interns about the pituitary gland, also known as the master of the body because it makes sure everything in the body runs smoothly, like a boss.Walking Tall, 12x02
*Richard took over from Meredith as he wanted to teach the interns about the brain. He had them gather around and while talking about how the brain makes you you, he easily sliced up a brain in front of him. He told them that if left to decompose, the brain actually liquifies, sickening Mitchell. Because Mitchell missed out on the class due to running out to throw up, Richard gave him a private lesson at the end of the day, allowing him to slice up a brain himself.Old Time Rock and Roll, 12x04
*Meredith showed her interns a pair of diseased lungs of a man who always pretended not to smoke, but who smoked two packs a day in his car for 20 years without his family knowing. She used this example to teach the interns about the shame that prevents some patients from telling the truth, and how the patient's body doesn't lie. She warned her students not to let shame kill them.The Me Nobody Knows, 12x06
*April also taught a class on trauma.Unbreak My Heart, 12x11
==Notes and Trivia==
*The motivation behind having started the anatomy classes is unknown, as interns are normally supposed to have taken anatomy classes in medical school; it's most likely that the surgical staff had many experiences with interns lacking anatomical knowledge and decided to start the class.
*At first, Miranda Bailey was the teacher of the anatomy class, but she passed the torch to Meredith Grey once she was appointed Chief of Surgery.Sledgehammer, 12x01
