Why study Advanced Clinical Anatomy?
The Advanced Clinical Anatomy Shorter Form Credential module (ACA-SFC) provides topographical training in anatomy with practical sessions on wet prosected specimens. This ACA-SFC is based on the Generic Surgical Science Examination of the Royal Australasian College of Surgeons but also to ensures broader appeal (e.g. Emergency Medicine procedural, radiology, anaesthesia etc). Although the ACA-SFC is intended mainly for junior doctors preparing for Surgical and Radiology Training examinations, it is open to junior doctors and non-medical allied health professionals. The ACA-SFC will be conducted online and in-person, and will be delivered by experienced Brisbane-based senior practising surgeons who are Fellows of the Royal Australasian College of Surgeons (RACS). ACA-SFC comprises distance learning on-line sub-modules, providing fundamental anatomical knowledge, and clinical and practical elements delivered in intensive weekend workshops at The University of Queensland's St Lucia Campus. There will be a mid-semester assessment half-way through the ACA-SFC and a final assessment at the end of the ACA-SFC, both coinciding with the weekend intensives. The ACA-SFC is offered by The University of Queensland's School of Biomedical Sciences in the Faculty of Medicine.
