Surgical Anatomy: Based on Prosection
SURG5015
The Surgical Anatomy unit of study is based on cadaver prosection and offered jointly by Disciplines of Surgery and Anatomy. There are three components to the course. Firstly, candidates are required to perform a prosection in the area of their chosen specialty. They must prepare a detailed description of the prosection including illustrations/photographs. The second requirement is that candidates attend a 1.5 hour session each week on a known anatomical theme and demonstrate the anatomical features of dissected pecimens to USydMP students, in an OSCE format. The third requirement is to prepare for a weekly viva, conducted on prosections, by self directed learning. All three components are completed in one morning session per week (Either Monday or Wednesday).
