Learning Outcomes:
On completion of this module students should be able to: explain the classification and structure of bones and joints, describe the regional anatomy of the upper and lower limbs, identify and label reasonably detailed diagrams and images of anatomical structure and sectional anatomy, identify surface anatomical features on the human model, and apply knowledge to clinical scenarios relevant to their future profession.
Indicative Module Content:
In accordance with university policy, lectures and practicals will be offered in a face-to-face format wherever possible. University policy may change to reflect updated public health advice. Should any changes in policy occur, the module coordinator will communicate directly with students via email to explain any changes in the module.
