Learning outcomes
The subject aims to intensify knowledge in various domains through topographic anatomy and interconnecting it with detailed systematic, functional and clinical anatomy, with focus on traumatology, surgery, orthopaedics, neurology and other clinical fields. The subject will put emphasis on utilising knowledge of anatomy in clinical practice and on clinical and topographic anatomy, in relation to surgical approaches and in the context of correct performance of a surgical procedure with minimum damage to healthy tissues.
Completing the course contributes to better competency in understanding integral relations in the structure and function of a body as an integral unit in terms of physiological, as well as basic pathological, processes. At the same time, it contributes to understanding a holistic perspective to the functioning of a human body.
Prerequisites
Knowledge of systematic anatomy, prerequisites for application of existing acquired knowledge in connection with functional application in possible clinical disorders. Ability to creatively solve model situations in occurrence of organ and system afflictions.
NAN/VCB15

Assessment methods and criteria
Student performance, Dialog

Understanding the holistic structure and function of the body, from its basic elements to the ability to perceive disorders on the basis of pathological and pathophysiological chains, leading from local damage to trauma to the entire body. Unit credit course: The 100 % participation in the exercises. Knowledge according to the practices´ and seminars´ topics controled in the exercises (A - E grades). Colloquium
