Overview

Throughout this Clinical Anatomy MSc programme from The University of Edinburgh the relative amount of anatomy taught on these programmes is considerably less than in years gone by, and there are limited opportunities across the UK (and further afield) for medical and dental students to gain an in-depth knowledge of human anatomy beyond their core programmes.

We have established this programme not only to directly address this deficiency but also to offer an opportunity for graduate entry intercalating medical/dental students to significantly enhance their clinically-relevant anatomical knowledge and research skills.

Key facts:

There are three main aims of the MSc Clinical Anatomy programme, providing you with:

the opportunity to gain a comprehensive knowledge and understanding of clinically-related human anatomy by dissection
a comprehensive understanding of the anatomical basis of clinical subjects, including surgery, radiology and histology
experience of undertaking a cutting-edge anatomically/clinically-related research project

The programme’s principal educational and clinical aims are specifically to give you thorough knowledge in all aspects of anatomy, including:

gross anatomy
embryology
neuroanatomy
anatomical imaging

You will also gain knowledge in clinical related subjects including radiology, histology and surgery, to the level of being competent to teach these elements to medical students and to students in professions allied to medicine.
