This module is the first of the anatomy/patho-physiology modules in the Diagnostic Radiography programme.
On successful completion the student will have developed knowledge of anatomy, physiology and pathology of the appendicular skeleton (the bones of the upper and lower limbs, and pelvis).
The module will be delivered using ‘Team Based Learning’ (TBL). Each student will be assigned into a small team of peers and during the timetabled sessions teams are given a series of questions related to the material studied prior to the session. The students will work within their group to agree a list of answers. The answers will then be revealed to encourage a class discussion.
Each of the TBL sessions are supplemented with image viewing tutorials. These tutorials allow the student to see anatomical detail in context, and appreciate its significance in identifying normal from abnormal in terms of anatomy and pathology. This appreciation will be gained through the use projection radiography (x-ray) images, in relation to normal radiographic anatomy and common pathologies of the appendicular skeleton.
Teaching sessions in the Human Anatomy Resource Centre (HARC) contribute to this module and enable the student to visualise the anatomical body parts, giving a clearer understanding of the detail.
The module will assess the students knowledge of anatomy, physiology, pathology and the associated radiographic appearances.
75% of teaching will be face to face on CAMPUS. To provide some flexibility and work life balance for the student group some online teaching through MS teams will provided.
