Clinical Anatomy with Education
University of LiverpoolLiverpool, United Kingdom
Course overview
Develop the tools to design and deliver anatomical learning experiences on this PGCert. You’ll explore the structural and functional building blocks of different body systems, examine the clinical application of anatomical knowledge, and discover contemporary educational practices in anatomical learning. This part-time, eight-month programme is suitable for those with anatomical or clinically focused degrees.
The PGCert will enhance your knowledge of anatomy, refresh your anatomical skillset, and guide you in devising and delivering clinically-relevant anatomical learning experiences. An exploration of the principles of anatomy will reveal the structural and functional building blocks of different body systems. You’ll examine the relationship between structure and function at cellular, tissue, organ and system levels.
Your learning will be contextualised by examining the clinical application of anatomical expertise. We’ll develop your critical analytical skills and assess the clinical significance of anatomical variations and abnormalities. You’ll gain the communication skills and confidence to communicate complex anatomical information in a variety of ways.
The insights and understanding needed to become a credible and authentic anatomical educator are underpinned by an evidence-informed approach to teaching anatomy. We’ll assess all elements of anatomical curriculum design, delivery and assessment and showcase modern educational practices. The course uses a blended learning approach.
The majority of the course is delivered online. One compulsory face-to-face week per semester provides the opportunity for hands-on practical activities and small-group workshops in the Human Anatomy Resource Centre. The course is suitable for clinical or pre-clinical graduates, or those with a substantial element of their first degree focused on anatomy.
