Introduction to topographic and clinical anatomy
Learning outcomes of the course :  
The goals of that course are multiple:
-first: to give an overview of the general architecture of the human body to allow a good undserstanding of the principal physiological processes
-second: to give an integrative view of the anatomy
-third: to train the student with the 3D vision of the human body and its components by the use of the descriptive tools (from old tool (as section, schemes...) to niew tools (computer assisted imaging, 3D reconstruction)
Prerequisites and co-requisites/ Recommended optional programme components :  
The student must fluent in french language and must control basic descriptive geometrical tools (axes, planes and projections)
Planned learning activities and teaching methods :  
5 workshops are organized (10 for medical students). Some workshops will be held in the "Institut of human Anatomy" and some will be avalaible on line on the WebCT course. Attendance is compulsory for both of them and subject to cotation.
Mode of delivery (face-to-face ; distance-learning) :  
Schedule for each section will be published in the "vademecum"On line ressources are available trough "My Ulg" > "WebCT". >
Slides, demonstrations, sketches performed during lectures, discussions and auto-evaluation can be found on that on line course . A special workshop "how to use your on line course" will be organized in october or november.http://www.webct.ulg.ac.be/webct/logon/137759553001
Recommended or required readings :  
A syllabus is published each year
2008-2009 sylabus edition is downloadable from the online course and purchasable to the "Presses Universitaires".
A textbook edition with coloured illustrations should be available soon.
Reference book:
Possession of that reference book is not essential, illustrations from the lectures, syllabus and demonstrations should be of suffisance for most students.
Nevertheless, we recommand " Gray's Anatomy for students" (Drake, Vogl, Mitchell) (Elsevier editor) (french version available)
Assessment methods and criteria :  
As far as evaluation is concerned, please refer to the faculty rules.
Organizational remarks :  
High speed internet connexion offers the best way to connect to the on line course, especially for the demonstrations based on videos or animations. A multimedia lab with high speed internet connexion computers is accessible for all students in front of the Human Anatomical department (Bureau pédagogique) Other multimedia labs are available in the university. Wireless ressources are available in most of the classrooms.
