The general assessment criteria are analyzed during the introductory lecture
Objective Objectives/Desired Results:
The general purpose of the course is to introduce students to the Anatomy of all the systems of the human body by regions and the surface Anatomy with references and examples in clinical daily practice. Extensive references are made to the structure, topography and relationships in the various anatomical regions of the body, so that the student acquires a global theoretical and practical approach to the topography of human body.
Upon successful completion of the course, the student will have: • Understand and have basic knowledge of Systematic and regional Anatomy oriented inparticular to the clinical practice.
