Learning Outcomes (LO) Upon completion of this unit, students will be able to:
  1. understand and describe the gross topographical regional anatomy of the human, as it relates to clinical and surgical application;
  2. describe and demonstrate the regional anatomy related to physical examination and clinical assessment in the living;
  3. understand and describe specific regional neurovascular supply, arterial and venous anastomoses and lymphatic drainage; and
  4. understand and describe regional anatomical variation/s and appreciate the implications of such variation/s to regional investigation/s and surgery.

Graduate Attributes (GA)
Attribute Taught Assessed Practised
1 Knowledge of a Discipline
Students will have a sound knowledge of the discipline which will be evaluated in both assessment tasks. 		True True True
2 Communication Skills
Written communication skills will be assessed by both tasks.
