This module is the second of two Year 1 modules that introduce the students to foundational anatomy and physiology knowledge relevant to occupational therapy practice. This second module focuses on increasing students’ understanding of neuroanatomy including the relationship between causes of neurological deficits and occupational performance.
Students will learn by attending virtual or on campus key-note lectures, participating in small peer groups seminars, interacting with service users, practical teaching sessions and through self-directed study. Students will attend teaching synchronous teaching sessions online from the Human Anatomy Resource Centre (HARC).sessions at the Human Anatomy Resource Centre (HARC). Students will develop knowledge and some understanding of standardised and non- standardised assessments used to evaluate function in the central and peripheral nervous system.
The assessment is an Objective Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE).
