Applied Human Anatomy (UoA)

Applied human anatomy will enable students to gain a better appreciation of the structural and functional relationships in the human body in health and apply this knowledge to understand changes that occur in disease by working through clinical case scenarios. This course employs a wide range of teaching and learning modes, with an emphasis on a blended learning, flipped classroom approach. The course curriculum is organised by anatomical region into three modules that will address the relevant clinical anatomy of the (i) head and neck; (ii) thorax; and (iii) abdomen and pelvis. Learning will be facilitated by weekly clinical scenario-based teaching supplemented by cadaveric dissections, surface anatomy and imaging and reinforced with weekly / end of module testing. The course will be useful for students considering medicine or paramedical careers that demand an appreciation of the clinical relevant anatomy but also to students fascinated by the structure and organisation of the human body.
