Clinical Anatomy MSc

Human anatomy is a core component of undergraduate medical degree programmes, as well as programmes allied to medicine such as radiography and physiotherapy.<br/><br/>However, the relative amount of anatomy taught on these programmes is now considerably less, and there are limited opportunities across the UK, and further afield, for medical and dental students to gain an in-depth knowledge of human anatomy beyond their core programmes.<br/><br/>We have established this programme not only to directly address this deficiency but also to offer an opportunity for graduate entry intercalating medical/dental students to significantly enhance their clinically-relevant anatomical knowledge and research skills.<br/><br/>The programme is tailored specifically for intercalating medical or dental students.<br/><br/><strong>Aims</strong><br/><br/>There are three main aims of the MSc Clinical Anatomy programme, providing you with:<br/><br/><br/>- the opportunity to gain a comprehensive knowledge and understanding of clinically-related human anatomy by dissection<br/><br/><br/>- a comprehensive understanding of the anatomical basis of clinical subjects, including surgery, radiology and histology<br/><br/><br/>- experience of undertaking a cutting-edge anatomically/clinically-related research project<br/><br/><br/>The programme’s principal educational and clinical aims are specifically to give you thorough knowledge in all aspects of anatomy, including:<br/><br/><br/>- gross anatomy<br/><br/><br/>- embryology<br/><br/><br/>- neuroanatomy<br/><br/><br/>- anatomical imaging<br/><br/><br/>You will also gain knowledge in clinical-related subjects, including radiology, histology and surgery, to the level of being competent to teach these elements to medical students and students in professions allied to medicine.
