Assessment
Additional details
- Dissection Coursework - continuous assessment. Students will be assessed on the quality of their dissection and on a report of the anatomical variations they are able to identify and display in the cadaver they dissect. The report will consist of five written sheets of approximately 100 words each. (50%)
- Oral Examination (20 minutes). Flag race examination (60 minutes). Standard questions will be based on knowledge of surgically applied anatomy appropriate to that required for the SET Surgical Sciences Examinations of RACS. The oral examination format includes specimens, bones, imaging and surface projections of the chosen specialty areas. The flag race examination format includes identification of labelled specimens of the head and neck, thorax, abdomen, pelvis, upper limb, lower limb.
