Overview

The students will study clinical conditions as set out in the Physician Associate Curriculum Matrix. This is organised by the major systems of the body.

Cardiovascular, Respiratory, Renal and Genito-Urinary and Sexual Health, Gastro-Intestinal, Endocrine and Metabolic, Neurological, Musculo-Skeletal, Orthopaedics, Paediatrics, ENT and Ophthalmology, Female Reproductive

These will be discussed in terms of the clinically relevant anatomy and it's importance in identifying pathology. The major focus of the module will be an emphasis on how anatomy relates to the management of patients presenting with the conditions outlined in the curriculum.

Assessment Strategy

-threshold -Category C (50% -59%)A threshold student should have basic knowledge of the essential facts and key concepts of anatomy presented in the module. The work is only based on lecture material. No evidence of wider reading or critical thinking. -good -Category B (60%-69%)A good student should have a thorough factual knowledge across all aspects of the module, and be able to detail examples where appropriate. The work presented is largely based on the lecture materials. Limited evidence of wider reading and critical analysis. -excellent -Category A (70% - 100%):An excellent student should have a thorough factual knowledge across all aspects of the module, and be able to detail examples where appropriate, supported by additional reading and knowledge drawn from other modules. The work presents evidence of critical thinking. Especially for the higher A marks, critical analysis and wider reading is essential.

Learning Outcomes

• Demonstrate an ability to perform common clinical/practical procedures in relation to anatomical landmarks

• Demonstrate an in depth understanding of normal/abnormal human structure in relation to the conditions set out in the Physician Associate Curriculum Matrix

• Demonstrate the ability to effectively describe key anatomical changes related to common clinical scenarios
