Clinical Anatomy is the study of clinically relevant material with regard to anatomy, and will involve diagnosis, prognosis, treatment, and differentials. These workshops are provided with the idea of grasping the general idea regarding the significant anatomical variations, and clinically significant conditions.  Studying these clinical workshops may not be worth it, but it certainly adds much needed value to our clinical knowledge. Review each of these workshops before your designated clinical workshop session, and I can assure you your knowledge will improve dramatically.

Clinical Anatomy

Hints / Tips

The best way that I find to learn from these workshops is to have a good general understanding of the anatomy referred to. There is absolutely no point in trying to get a good grasp of this before studying your anatomy. Another good way is to pick out your questions from these workshops, rather than focusing on every single question. Knowing your case studies well, and then relating the question directly to the case studies is an excellent approach. This is what you, as a medical practitioners, will be doing in your clinical practice and the exam will be set out in this manner. Learning how to do this now, will save you much needed time, especially for your finals.

Lastly, do not forget to know who your exam setter for clinical anatomy is, what his/her requirements are, what he/she stresses on during the clinical workshops, and of course ask him/her regarding the relevancy of this material for the final exams. The last thing you want to do is to learn material that has little or no significance for the exams.
