What will I learn?

During the session you will explore in detail the superficial musculoskeletal system, from head to toe, on prosected cadavers, these are cadavers that have been pre dissected to expose the areas that will be looked at in detail, the full process of dissection takes many hours to perform.

You will be provided with protective lab coats and gloves, and will be encouraged to investigate and handle the cadavers under guidance and supervision.

Because each of these groups are small, you will have ample opportunities to palpate and interact with the prosections, and ask all the questions of the anatomist that you may have.

How many hours CPD?

2 hours CPD.

The day will run from 10.30pm to 12.30 pm

Is the course assessed?
