Advanced Topics in Applied Anatomy builds on the anatomical concepts explored in years 1 and 2 of the BSc Applied Anatomy course. Students will explore advanced topics relating to the functional anatomy of human and non-human mammals in seminar, tutorial and practical settings. Topics may include: changes and variations in anatomy relating to growth, senescence, the athletic body, and support and rehabilitation.
Students will participate in and lead discussions, exploring relevant primary literature, and reflecting on the roles of anatomy and anatomical variation in our understanding of these topics.
Teaching will predominantly be delivered via seminar sessions, with tutorials and practical demonstrations supporting some topics.
As part of the focus on experiential learning in the BSc Applied Anatomy, students will be expected to actively participate in formative activities such as engagement in seminar presentations, readings and discussions.
