N2  - Human morphological sciences are facing an "identity crisis" and, in Europe, there is an urgent need for a dedicated programme of training for teachers and researchers in anatomy. The "Bologna process" (which in 1999 proposed harmonization of academic curriculum in order to favour exchange of students and researchers inside the European Union) provides a unique opportunity to organise a common curriculum in anatomy. The first step could be the creation of modules for a European Master 2 course in anatomy/biomorphology. At the present time, in the University of Paris Descartes, there is no Master's course in Anatomy (except in the osteo-articular part of the Master 2 Health and Life Science programme or in the neurobiology Master's programme). Anatomists at the University of Paris Descartes are endeavouring to find other European universities to help organise a programme of training for future teachers of anatomy in France (and perhaps elsewhere in Europe).
