Basic Sciences: Anatomy
1855-P1-NPA-S1Z
Classes conducted in the form of lectures and exercises. The topics of the lectures are issues related to the anatomical structure of organs and systems of the human body. During the tutorials, the student acquires the ability to use anatomical names and uses the knowledge of the topography of the organs of the human body in professional practice.
During the tutorials, students acquire practical skills using modern methods, i.e. high-fidelity virtual anatomy, which enables the study of human anatomy in controlled and standardized conditions. Additionally, teaching tools such as:
- virtual anatomical table that enables the study of normal anatomy in combination with clinical and radiological anatomy;
- auscultation and palpation anatomy trainers
- anatomical models.
Conducting human anatomy classes in medical simulation conditions enables comprehensive improvement of basic skills in the field of clinical anatomy and teaches the basics of clinical inference.
