Applied Clinical Anatomy involves
the anatomical examination of
the human body, especially as
revealed by dissection. We aim
to promote the acquisition and
development of anatomical
knowledge and skills through

dissection using human cadaveric
specimens.
The course is aimed at students
who have studied some basic
anatomy within their first degree,
including but not limited to:
medical doctors; allied health
professionals; nurses; midwives;
other health related professionals;
graduates in biology; cell biology;

The postgraduate certificate
consists of three modules:
two core modules plus one
elective module:
• Applied Clinical Anatomy 1

identification of prosections,
gross anatomy of various
systems, imaging, preserving
and embalming. The gross

led tutorials, theoretical and
practical studies including
dissections. You will cover
