This subject is the second of two subjects that form the Graduate Diploma in Surgical Anatomy. The Graduate Diploma in Surgical Anatomy is a course providing instruction in clinically relevant anatomy to Australian medical and dental graduates and AHPRA registered health practitioners or those with an equivalent overseas qualification. As part of this subject students will undertake studies in histology, embryology and advanced topographical anatomy of the lower limb, thorax, abdomen and pelvis and will include compulsory residential cadaveric dissection workshops. A minimum of 10 enrolled students are needed to run this subject.

AT8302 - Surgical Anatomy of the Trunk and Lower Limbs

Surgical Anatomy of the Trunk and Lower Limbs

Critically analyse scientific research papers

Demonstrate effective and concise oral and written communication skills

Review, consolidate and synthesise knowledge of anatomical development (embryology), tissue structure (histology), and functional systematic structure (topographical anatomy) to identify anatomical variants and analyse the clinical and surgical implications of such variants of the lower limb, thorax, abdomen and pelvis

Relate advanced anatomical knowledge of the lower limb, thorax, abdomen and pelvis to the development of pathology, functional complications and management options

Apply and adapt advanced anatomical knowledge and technical skills to structural identification and regional cadaveric dissection of the lower limb, thorax, abdomen and pelvis

Critically interpret and evaluate how normal structure and anatomical variation of structure relate to normal and abnormal function of the lower limb, thorax, abdomen and pelvis
