Masters Taster Webinar: Why study Clinical Anatomy?
1 May 2024, 5.30pm to 6.30pm
Our MSc in Clinical Anatomy and MSc in Clinical Anatomy programmes offer unique opportunities to immerse yourself in the practical and in-depth study of clinical anatomy. As part of our Masters Taster Webinar series, Dr Paul McKeegan, Programme Director, MSc in Clinical Anatomy/Clinical Anatomy and Education will share why clinical anatomy is important, what you can expect from our programme and how it will help you to understand the complex nature of the human body and how it relates to clinical practice. We have also invited our current students and graduates to share their experiences of the programme and how it has helped them achieve their career goals.

About the programme
The MSc in Clinical Anatomy, based at the University of Hull campus, provides unique opportunities to immerse yourself in the practical and in-depth study of clinical anatomy. The programme is built around core dissection-based modules, and a range of complimentary optional modules allowing you to gain an in-depth understanding of all the fundamental pillars of anatomy, including embryology, neuroanatomy, histology and radiology. You will be encouraged to be a self-directed learner and challenge your knowledge and ways of thinking about the human body.
This programme offers you the opportunity to conduct whole-body dissection and in doing so develop a deep understanding of the complex nature of the whole of the human body and how that relates to your clinical practice. You will gain the unique experience of working with a range of cadaveric material preserved using Thiel, Formalin and plastination embalming techniques. In particular, dissection using Thiel-embalmed cadavers offers the benefit of viewing material which is as close to living tissue as possible.
You will have the opportunity to learn from experts at the forefront of new developments in clinical anatomy, who create a dynamic and supportive learning environment as part of a diverse and welcoming community. As well as learning from their expertise, you will be challenged to think differently and learn how to become a self-directed learner as you continue to develop your anatomy knowledge throughout your career.
This programme also features guest seminars from visiting surgeons and consultants, who will bring patient cases to share with you, so you can apply your knowledge within a clinical context. These experts come from a range of specialties and include plastic, cardiothoracic and orthopaedic surgeons, gastroenterologists, radiologists and emergency medicine doctors.
*This programme is primarily based at the University of Hull. Some modules involve at least one study day delivered on the University of York campus, see the module information below for details.
