Module aims
To promote in-depth acquisition of applied clinical anatomical knowledge and skills, and the application of anatomical sciences within a chosen focus.

Entry Requirements
The course is aimed at students who have successfully studied the Applied Clinical Anatomy 1 module or an equivalent taught programme. For this module the candidates should normally have a first or second-class honours degree in a relevant subject and/or recognized professional qualification. However, applications will be considered if individuals can demonstrate an acceptable level of knowledge and will be invited to an in depth interview prior to admission to this module.

Module Content
Through student-led tutorials, dissections, theoretical and practical studies the student will cover in depth the theoretical and practical aspects of knowledge relating to his or her chosen anatomical focus.

Teaching Format

The student is expected to develop anatomical knowledge and skills by self-directed study. To assist this process the students will have the use of the Anatomy suite, Academic staff, discussion sessions and tutorials.
