Surgical Anatomy- from theory to dissection

The virtual mobility component of the program combines a synchronal face-to-face teaching with an online asynchronous sessions part. The virtual component will consist of five meetings, distributed in 8 weeks, approximately 3 hours every second week. At the beginning of each session, one topic dealing with topographical anatomy of the surgical region will be explained by lecturers. This is followed by a second asynchronous virtual part, where participants and lecturer will watch a surgical procedure performed on human body donors, which is enhanced by didactical features. The total amount of teaching will take 43 hours. It is divided into 15 hours lecturing and 32 hours additionally dedicated to being individual work. Acquisition of surgical and anatomical skills by practicing anatomical dissections and transferring anatomical knowledge to the surgical context
