Module summary

The module will provide students with practical application of advanced anatomy knowledge for those structures commonly stressed during physical activity, how to assess injury, and appropriate treatment strategies. Practical experience will be provided by attending an SEM clinic as part of SPSC5134M. Recommended eLearning resources will be identified (including online musculoskeletal texts and recorded lectures), and tasks set according to the structure under study. Students will be expected to complete a series of practical competencies, and formative workbooks for each anatomical region under study. Assessment will take the form of individual case study presentations, summative online MCQs and individual OSCE stations. Students will be expected to complete two modules from the free online FIFA football medicine diploma.
