Anatomy Case Studies

Anatomy Case Studies

This set of programs, authored with Asymetrix Toolbook, is for use as a teaching aid in Anatomy courses for pre-clinical medical students. Their aim is to help gain an understanding of regional Gross Anatomy. They may be used as a supplement to existing classes in Gross Anatomy, emphasising the Applied aspects of such a course. Each program consists of a series of clinical case notes, upon which the student is required to act, or answer questions. A set of three case histories is documented for each region of the body. The anatomical regions comprise:

1. Upper Limb
2. Lower Limb
3. Thorax
4. Abdomen
5. Pelvis and Perineum
6. Head and Neck

Presently only the upper limb is availiable for download.

Each case study is based on actual clinical presentations, in which the detail has been re-focused to draw attention to specific anatomical regions. Options allow patient interviews or the selection of various tests and manipulations. Also included are an extensive range of questions and problem solving exercises to concentrate attention to appropriate detail. This suite of programs attempts to bridge the gap between pre-clinical and clinical medicine.

Features
