Course Description

This is a compulsory course for first year medical students. It is not available to students not enrolled on the MBChB programme. The course runs across the whole academic year.

During the first term students will be introduced to the discipline of anatomy. They will learn anatomical terminology and will be expected to be fluent in its use by the end of the year. The anatomical organisation of the body will be described. 

During the second term the structure, and how this relates to the function, of the respiratory and cardiovascular systems will be described.  

During the year students will spend around 30 hours in the Anatomy Laboratory studying bones, wet specimens, anatomical models, radiological images, microscope slides and 3-dimensional clinical presentations. In addition to the laboratory based material, a further 30 hours of lectures and tutorials supplement the teaching on this course. Each student is provided with a practical workbook in which the programme of study for each week is organized. Some degree of preparation before each class is expected by way of completion of the relevant section of the workbook for that week’s teaching. Specimen review and a short formative OSPE (with answers provided) is presented at the end of each week for progress self-assessment.
