upper and lower limbs, cranial cavities and contents, cranial
nerves and blood supply of the head and neck. The majority of the
coursework will be done in the cadaver lab, with limited lectures
to introduce topics. The lab work will be guided by a lab workbook,
handouts and instructor demonstrations. Models, bones (skeletal
materials), skulls, and medical images will supplement the cadaver
prosections. Lab work will be assessed by the weekly lab
assignment, three practical quizzes and a written final exam. A
research project will be assigned to allow the student to bridge
their knowledge of lab anatomy with more clinical concepts.
