Description for 2020/21

The aims of the module are to enable students to gain the necessary knowledge and understanding of the anatomy (using the anatomy suite where appropriate) and physiology of the urinary, nervous, neuro-endocrine, gastro-intestinal, cardio-vascular, reproductive, and immune systems. The study of cross-sectional anatomy will develop knowledge and understanding of the relative positions of organs and structures. The module will explore homeostatic control and feedback mechanisms to assist students' understanding of common pathologies. Drugs used specifically within imaging will be identified; their pharmacology, uses and contraindications will be outlined.

Aims

The module aims to enable students to gain the necessary knowledge and understanding of the anatomy, physiology and common pathologies of the following systems: urinary; nervous; neuro-endocrine; gastro-intestinal; reproductive, cardio-vascular and immune systems with reference to radiographic practice and initial image interpretation.

Intended Learning Outcomes

describe the physiology and function of the bodyżs organ systems and their function in the maintenance of homeostasis; will be achieved by assessments: 1,2,3,4
outline the consequences of individual organ and systems failure, and describe common pathologies of each organ and system;
will be achieved by assessments: 1,2,3,4
discuss the rationale for inclusion of routinely used drugs within imaging departments, including the pharmacology, their purpose and contraindications. will be achieved by assessments: 1,2,3,4

Study hours

60 hours of scheduled learning and teaching to include lectures, attendance at the anatomy suite, supplemented by on-line resources. Formative assessment will be provided throughout the module via small seminar and tutorial groups.
Students will be encouraged to manage and extend their own learning through self-directed study.
It is anticipated that study hours will include approximately 69 hours of practice experience. This is derived from a total of 413 hours, averaged across all six assessed modules in year 2.

Description of Module Assessment

1: Exam weighted 100%
Written exam
2 hour written exam, made up of 2 sections: Section A: multiple choice questions (20% weighting). Section B: Students choose 4 out of 6 questions to be answered (80% weighting) - 4 relate directly to anatomy and physiology, 2 relate to common pathology

2: Portfolio weighted 0%
Portfolio B: Radiographic Competency
Assesses those aspects of student competency mapped against the intended learning outcomes of this module: with reference to assessment of specific radiographic practice competencies undertaken during Practice Experience.

3: Portfolio weighted 0%
Portfolio C: Clinical Assessment Competency
Assesses those aspects of student competency mapped against the intended learning outcomes of this module: with reference to the six mandatory clinical assessments undertaken (twice) during Practice Experience. Year 2 competencies: shoulder, pelvis/hips, cervical spine, lumbar spine, abdomen & mobile.

4: Portfolio weighted 0%
Portfolio E: Oral Examination 40 mins
Assesses those aspects of student knowledge and application mapped against the intended learning outcomes of this module: with reference to abdomen, simple trauma (appendicular including shoulder & hips) and mobile imaging undertaken by the student during Practice Experience.
