Postgraduate Course: Basic Human Anatomy, Imaging and Embryology 1 (BIME11149)
Course Outline
| School | Deanery of Biomedical Sciences |
College | College of Medicine and Veterinary Medicine |
| Credit level (Normal year taken) | SCQF Level 11 (Postgraduate) |
Availability | Not available to visiting students |
| SCQF Credits | 40 |
ECTS Credits | 20 |
| Summary | This course will provide students with an in-depth knowledge of the anatomy of the upper/lower limbs and thorax, incorporating; gross anatomy, surface anatomy, medical imaging, and embryology. The course will consist of seminars, tutorials, and lectures, paralleled by cadaveric dissection. |
| Course description |
Individuals in groups of 4/5 will be expected to dissect a whole body to the level of that contained in Grant¿s Dissector Manual. These guided self-dissection sessions (supported by weekly ¿surgeries¿ where anatomy staff can provide advice and guidance) will enable the students to consolidate new knowledge and contextualise it in the anatomy teaching laboratory. Guided self-study is expected and supported in order to fulfil the requirements of this course.
On completion of this course students should demonstrate: (1) extensive, detailed and critical knowledge and understanding of anatomy to a level allowing them to teach anatomy to both undergraduate and postgraduate students; (2) knowledge of critical review, consolidation of knowledge and analyse relevant scientific papers of anatomy and function of the human body; (3) a significant range of core skills, dissection techniques and practices associated with human anatomy. This allowing them to produce high-quality prosections which can be used for teaching; (4) a critical knowledge and understanding of normal human pre-natal development allowing them to appreciate the organisation of the body as seen by dissection, how normal development can go wrong, and how this manifests itself in commonly observed congenital abnormalities; (5) a critical understanding and interpretation of major medical imaging modalities and identify key anatomical structures.

Learning Outcomes
On completion of this course, the student will be able to:
- Demonstrate a significant range of core and professional practice skills and dissection techniques associated with human anatomy. Develop skills to enable independent learning and critical reflection of theoretical and practical processes and production of a research project.
- Demonstrate extensive, detailed and critical knowledge and understanding of topographical human anatomy of the upper/lower limbs and thorax, and the ability to conduct high quality prosections, in order to teach anatomy to both undergraduate and postgraduate students.
- Demonstrate critical knowledge and understanding of normal human pre-natal development allowing them to appreciate the organisation of the body as seen by dissection, understand how normal development can go wrong, and how this manifests itself in commonly observed congenital abnormalities.
- Demonstrate an understanding of the functioning of health and safety applied to a laboratory dealing with human body donations, and application of anatomical legislation relevant to laboratory practice, including the bequeathal process (medical visualisation & human anatomy).
- Display a critical understanding and interpretation of major medical imaging modalities and identify key anatomical structures.
