This programme offers the opportunity to study functional, comparative and clinical anatomy to a higher level of critical understanding. It is designed for ambitious clinicians who will have studied anatomy at undergraduate level to extend their knowledge and understanding of the subject in a functional context in an academically stimulating environment whilst maintaining their clinical careers rather than having to interrupt their career path. This course will allow you to: ? Develop a level of dissection skill that is both informed by and continues to enhance your understanding of anatomy and its variability between individuals ? Take the opportunity to study developmental and comparative functional anatomy to a higher level of critical understanding ? Develop a capacity for, and a habit of, using analytical and critical approaches in reading research literature as part of independent learning ? Develop advanced skills of independent and collaborative learning that will support your academic work and introduce you to higher levels of clinical practice ? Gain experience of learning in laboratories and clinics where internationally-recognised research and treatment are being developed You will have the opportunity to complete a detailed and thorough dissection of the entire body to include the cranium and its contents in a group of no more than four students. On completion of the Functional and Clinical Anatomy Masters course you will have gained: ? knowledge and understanding of the detailed functional anatomy of the body that will inform your understanding and decision making in complex clinical practice ? a knowledge of the embryological development and growth of the regions and systems of the body and their implications upon its functional anatomy important in decision making in clinical practice ? an understanding of the consequences of pathological states upon functional anatomy and the anatomical causes of pathology ? experience and understanding of methodologies and paradigms used in medical research that will enhance your ability to embark upon appropriate and significant research both within the course and in future clinical practice The course involves learning in lectures, seminars, and small group settings practical experience in clinics and laboratories as well as an opportunity to produce a detailed thorough dissection of a cadaver. The course will run one day (Thursday) per fortnight over two years (48 weeks in total). The course assesses ability through a range of assessments to include essays, extending matching set questions, vivas and short notes questions. A final dissertation and formal presentation of findings based upon original research is required to complete the MSc.
