Learning Outcomes (LO) Upon completion of this unit, students will be able to:
  1. compare and contrast the gross topographical regional anatomy of the human, as it relates to clinical and surgical application;
  2. accurately explain and document the regional anatomy related to physical examination and clinical assessment in the living;
  3. differentiate specific regional neurovascular supply, arterial and venous anastomoses and lymphatic drainage and implications for surgical treatment; and
  4. justify decision-making in respect of their impact on 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. Verbal and written communication skills will be enhanced by the increased ability to clearly inform colleagues and patients concerning anatomy related to procedures, and surgery, utilising knowledge gained in completing this unit. 		True True True
3 Global Perspectives
The update and overview of human anatomy prior to the intensive school by its nature will have a global perspective. 		True
4 Information Literacy
Students will be required to critically analyse anatomical publications and multimedia which will require a high level of information literacy. 		True True
5 Life-Long Learning
Knowledge from this unit will generate applied cadaveric research for surgical procedures and provide informed evaluation of future research. 		True True
6 Problem Solving
This unit involves the ability to devise and assess solutions to anatomical surgical procedures. 		True True True
7 Social Responsibility
Many aspects of the learning with have implications for social responsibility of doctors. 		True
8 Team Work
This unit requires each student to become familiar with the latest knowledge in human anatomy as if pertains to surgery. The teaching strategies tend to encourage individual work rather than team work.
