Biography

Dr. Mitesh Dave received his M.B.B.S. degree in July 2000, and M.S.(Anatomy) degree in January 2005 from the Maharaja Sayajirao University of Baroda, Gujarat, India. He has 20 years of teaching experience in various aspects of Anatomy (Gross Anatomy, Medical Histology, Neuroscience and Embryology), and has 18 research papers published in various indexed journals.

As a prerequisite for the M.S. Anatomy University Examination, he had submitted the dissertation on “An Analysis of the Variations in the Position of the Greater Palatine Foramen and Osteology of the Hard Palate in Adult Human Indian Skulls”, the study he conducted from February 2002 to November 2004.

Besides a faculty in various medical colleges in India, he had also been an Associate Professor of Anatomy in the Medical University of the Americas, Nevis, West Indies, from June 2009 to August 2012; and also as Assistant Professor of Anatomy and Registrar in the Oman Medical College, Sohar, Sulatanate of Oman from August 2013 to August 2015.

He had been appointed as Registrar in the Oman Medical College, Sohar, Sultanate of Oman for his outstanding work and contribution.

Before coming to Tulane University School of Medicine New Orleans in November 2022,  he was Professor & Chair, Dept. of Anatomy, at Parul Institute of Medical Sciences & Research, Parul University, Baroda, Gujarat, India.

He has an educational channel on the YOUTUBE “Dr Mitesh Dave Anatomy” in which he has uploaded numerous videos related to dissections & osteology of human body parts and theory topics, as well as Histology. He has been awarded Silver Play Button from the YouTube for passing 100,000 subscribers.

I has a vast experience of training the students for USMLE and equivalent competency-based exams, stressing more on problem based learning (PBL) and clinically oriented teaching.
