| Summary | Surgery, radiology and histology are key elements of the MSc Clinical Anatomy that need to run across semesters 1 and 2. For logistical and practical regions, we have divided this material into 2 distinct courses (Surgery, Radiology and Histology 1 and Surgery, Radiology and Histology 2) which will run in different semesters and be separately assessed. The Surgery, Radiology and Histology 1 course aims to enable exploration of the theoretical basis of surgery (orthopaedic trauma and general surgery), radiology, and histology of the upper/lower limbs and thorax. |
| Course description |
This module will: (1) provide students with the opportunity to acquire a basic understanding of the anatomical basis of orthopaedic trauma, general surgery, radiology, and histology of the related regions of the body; (2) provide knowledge that will allow a student to be able to interpret light microscopic histological images, identifying the tissue source and key structures, and; (3) provide students with knowledge allowing them to read and clinically interpret radiological images of key anatomical structures.
Aims and objectives
1. to understand the basic principles the anatomical basis of surgery, radiology and histology.
2. to be able to locate and identify anatomical structures, including major clinical phenotypes, on medical images.
3. to be able to identify light microscopic histological images of core human tissues.
Components of Assessment:
Research report (Essay) (40%)
A practical Spot examination where an understanding of surgery, radiology and histology will be assessed (60%)

Learning Outcomes
On completion of this course, the student will be able to:
- Detailed and critical knowledge the anatomical basis of orthopaedic and general surgery as well as radiology of the upper limb, lower limb and thorax regions.
- Demonstrate extensive, detailed and critical knowledge and understanding in interpretation of light microscopic histological images, identifying the tissue source and key structures with an understanding of their relevance to disease pathology.
- Demonstrate a significant range of core skills and abilities in researching the scientific literature relevant to scientific aspects of surgery, radiology and histology.
- Understand, develop and gain skills to enable independent learning (self-directed learning) of theoretical and practical processes.
- Gain communication skills both in terms of academic writing and communicating with course colleagues.
