“This course is a must for any experienced clinician. The opportunity to go back [to study anatomy] after years of practicing makes it a brand new experience that will improve your practice and confirm your interventions.” – 2019 course participant
"The instructors were fantastic. The amount of knowledge and guidance given were appreciated. They made me feel confident in myself in a gross anatomy setting." - 2023 course participant
Objectives
This is a two-day, primarily laboratory-based course that also includes didactic content focused on clinical correlates of the relevant anatomy of the upper limb and back. A minimum of three-quarters of the contact time will be spent in the gross anatomy laboratory.
16 Continuing Education Units (CEUs) will be awarded.
Audience
The course is designed for clinicians/educators with an overall course objective to review clinically relevant anatomy through a cadaver-based experience.
During this course the participants will:
- Participate in dissection of regional anatomy of the upper extremity and back
- Review clinically relevant anatomy of the upper extremity including joints and associated structures, musculature, and neurovasculature on prosected specimens.
- Review clinically relevant anatomy of the back and associated structures, musculature, viscera, and neurovasculature on prosected specimens.
- Apply regional anatomy to select clinical correlates through facilitated group discussion.
