Module MSE-4067:
Applied Anatomy

Module Facts

Run by School of Medical and Health Sciences

10.000 Credits or 5.000 ECTS Credits

Semester 1 & 2

Organiser: Dr Leah Taylor

Overall aims and purpose

This module will enable the student to acquire an in depth understanding of the normal/abnormal anatomy of the human body.

In particular it will concentrate on knowledge that is relevant and specific to clinical settings, covering the most common conditions where anatomical knowledge will aid both in the diagnosis and treatment of disease, and in communication with staff and patients/carers.

Conditions covered will be taken from each subject area outlined in the Physician Associate curriculum:

These will integrate both horizontally and vertically with other modules and clinical activities to afford optimal learning for students.

Course content

The students will study clinical conditions as set out in the Physician Associate Curriculum Matrix. This is organised by the major systems of the body.

Cardiovascular, Respiratory, Renal and Genito-Urinary and Sexual Health, Gastro-Intestinal, Endocrine and Metabolic, Neurological, Musculo-Skeletal, Orthopaedics, Paediatrics, ENT and Ophthalmology, Female Reproductive

These will be discussed in terms of the clinically relevant anatomy and it's importance in identifying pathology. The major focus of the module will be an emphasis on how anatomy relates to the management of patients presenting with the conditions outlined in the curriculum.
