Year 1
Semester A1
ECTS Credits 10
Workload OT(30H)/PL(10H)/S(20H)
Scientific area Morphological and Functional Sciences
Entry requirements Not applicable
Learning outcomes This course aims, first of all, to make known to the student the anatomical terminology and the anatomical language; secondly, to enable the student with in-depth and systematic knowledge of anatomy, enabling him to identify and describe the different anatomical structures; thirdly, that the knowledge acquired enables the identification of anatomical structures in imaging examinations; fourthly, that the descriptive and topographic skills acquired enable him to develop capacities that enable him to establish a correlation between anatomy and clinic.
Although the assessment is individual, the student must show the ability to collaborate effectively with the other students in their group and to show scientific ability to ask questions to the teacher.
