Overview
Learn advanced clinical anatomy, including all aspects of regional and systemic anatomy, in this bespoke course for medical and allied health clinicians.
The course provides topographical training in anatomy with online modules, tutorials and practical sessions on wet-prosected specimens.
Based on the Anatomy requirements of the Generic Surgical Sciences Examination of the Royal Australasian College of Surgeons, this course is relevant to trainee clinicians from surgical, radiologic and medical disciplines and allied health professionals.
This course has been designed to improve knowledge of clinically relevant anatomy, thus enhancing acceptance for vocational training and upgrading clinical performance.
After completing the course, you'll be able to demonstrate knowledge of the surgical relevance of the structures covered and the right surgical and procedural approaches to each organ or anatomical structure. You'll also be able to demonstrate skills in interpreting radiologic images.
Who should attend
Prospective surgical, radiology and pathology trainees and non-medical allied health professionals.
Entry requirements
You must hold an MBBS, MD or equivalent, or an approved degree in the non-medical allied health field (e.g. physiotherapy, radiography).
Before starting the course, and for the duration of the course, you must comply with professional registration requirements for medicine, physiotherapy or radiography.
What you'll learn
