This module is not approved as an Elective

Objectives

On completing this module, students should be able to:
- Plan, time-manage and execute both a practical project in clinical anatomy.
- Produce a series of high quality dissections of anatomical specimens relating to a particular clinical condition.
- Critically appraise the current literature, including original peer-reviewed publications, pertaining to a clinical problem and present this, together with project findings, in the form of an evaluative written report and as an oral presentation.

Learning outcomes
Detailed knowledge of the anatomy relating to a particular clinical condition or surgical procedure.

Skills outcomes
Dissection (includes planning-, time-management-, decision-making-, analytical,- presentation- and communication-skills, development of manual dexterity, development of spatial awareness regarding the relationships between anatomical structures in the region(s) studied).
Integration and critical analysis of published anatomical and associated surgical/clinical information and of data collected during the preparation of the student’s own prosections.

Syllabus

This is the largest component of the intercalated year in anatomy (40 credits) and consists of a dissection-based project carried out in the second semester. Students produce a series of anatomical prosections displaying structures relevant to a specific clinical condition. Students will have the opportunity investigate the relationships of anatomical structures, and may have an opportunity to investigate anatomical variation. Students will critically appraise published material relating to the clinical condition and, where appropriate, the aetiology, pathology and treatment of the condition. In addition to the anatomical prosections, students will present their work and its findings in the form of a written dissertation and as an oral presentation
