Overview
This unit builds on the anatomy taught in Human Anatomy and physiology 1 and 2 (BMSC11010 and BMSC11011), as well as Neuromusculoskeletal Anatomy 1 (CHIR12004). Students will further develop their knowledge of anatomy and physiology, which will include studies in gross anatomy, embryology and histology, clinical and living anatomy. Students will integrate this, where appropriate, with other basic sciences. The focus for this unit is neuroanatomy and the anatomy of the head and neck region.

Feedback, Recommendations and Responses
Every unit is reviewed for enhancement each year. At the most recent review, the following staff and student feedback items were identified and recommendations were made.
Feedback from Self-reflection (Unit Coordinator)
Student performance was strongly influenced by the level of student engagement in the unit. Greater engagement with learning materials, resources, and class activities was associated with improved student performance.
It is recommended that the Unit Coordinator continue to embed and reinforce strategies that support active and self directed engagement, including encouraging students to utilise the full suite of available learning resources, integrating recorded lectures and core readings with active class participation to enhance the learning experience, student performance, and build clinical confidence.
