About Clinical Anatomy Intercalated Bsc in University of Leeds

A sound knowledge and understanding of human anatomy is required in almost all medical specialities, not simply in the obvious disciplines like surgery, pathology, anaesthesiology and radiology.

The BSc Clinical Anatomy offers you the chance to explore clinically-oriented anatomy in an absorbing and practical manner. You'll get plenty of opportunity to do your own dissections, to study the rare and fascinating specimens in our anatomy and pathology museums, and to learn how to interpret medical images systematically. You'll also learn about anatomical education, and you'll get real hands-on experience as an anatomy teacher. You'll find out how to research and write about a topic, and do an in-depth dissection-based project about a cutting-edge aspect of surgical or clinical anatomy.

The anatomy team is small and friendly. We work very closely with our intercalating anatomy students and get to know them very well.

Students on this degree programme have gone on to give oral or poster presentations at national and international meetings; some have won awards for these presentations. Many have published abstracts. Occasionally, they've published full papers.

The programme aims to put anatomy into a clinical context and to provide opportunities for the practical exploration of each topic. In the dissecting room, each student will have the opportunity to conduct extensive dissection, initially in small groups of 2-3 and then individually. The Anatomy staff will always be on-hand to guide you, and you shouldn't be concerned if you haven't done any dissection before - the course is designed to provide you with the necessary skills.

The practical elements are supported by lectures, small-group tutorials, seminars and other forms of learning, covering not just gross anatomy but also medical embryology, neuroanatomy, medical imaging and both the theory and practice of anatomy teaching.

The modules offered build substantially on the anatomical learning you will have done earlier in your medical studies. All the modules have been designed exclusively for the Clinical Anatomy programme, and they aren't taken by any other students.

In your project, you'll study a cutting-edge aspect of clinical or surgical anatomy. You might, for example, compare the anatomical reasons for choosing one type of surgery over another, or consider the most appropriate sites for administering nerve block anaesthetics, or investigate the anatomical reasons why a treatment may be suitable for some patients but not for others
