• Practical Outcomes:

By the end of the course, student should be able to:

  • 150 hours practical for each group to discuss; identify and describe the different surface markings of internal structures and organs on the living subject, cadavers and preserved specimens.
  • 25 hours tutorial to discuss the surface landmarks, anatomical principles and relations of structures and to interpret it on radiograph and ultrasonography.

• For each year:
  • Written examination to assess knowledge and understandi Consists of both midterm examinations (( total of 15 marks )) (10%) and final written examination (( total of 60 marks )) (40%) .
