The aim of this course is to promote the acquisition of applied anatomical knowledge and skills and the application of anatomical science.

Teaching and Assessment:

Teaching format will be lecturers, seminars, discussions, problem-solving sessions, tutorials, and dissections to address theoretical and practical aspects of applied clinical anatomical knowledge. The student is expected to complete at least double the amount of self directed study.

A variety of modes of assessment are offered.

This will include a 4000-word assignment, four laboratory reports including such activities as dissections, clinical meetings, etc., a 2500 word reflective piece demonstrating experiential learning and finally the evidence of experiential learning.
