Masters Taster Webinar: Why study Clinical Anatomy and Education?
1 May 2024, 5.30pm to 6.30pm
Our MSc in Clinical Anatomy and MSc in Clinical Anatomy programmes offer unique opportunities to immerse yourself in the practical and in-depth study of clinical anatomy. As part of our Masters Taster Webinar series, Dr Paul McKeegan, Programme Director, MSc in Clinical Anatomy/Clinical Anatomy and Education will share why clinical anatomy is important, what you can expect from our programme and how it will help you to understand the complex nature of the human body and how it relates to clinical practice. We have also invited our current students and graduates to share their experiences of the programme and how it has helped them achieve their career goals.
Whether you are thinking of applying or have already applied we encourage you to come along and find out more.

About the programme
This programme combines the core modules from the MSc in Clinical Anatomy programme with our Advance HE-accredited MSc in Health Professions Education programme.
This programme offers you the opportunity to conduct whole-body dissection, and in doing so develop a deep understanding of the complex nature of the whole of the human body and how that relates to your clinical practice.
You will gain the unique experience of working with a range of cadaveric material preserved using Thiel, Formalin and plastination embalming techniques. In particular, dissection using Thiel-embalmed cadavers offers the benefit of viewing material which is as close to living tissue as possible.
You will have the opportunity to learn from experts at the forefront of new developments in clinical anatomy, who create a dynamic and supportive learning environment as part of a diverse and welcoming community. As well as learning from their expertise, you will be challenged to think differently and learn skills to become a self-directed learner as you continue to develop your anatomy knowledge throughout your career.
The MSc features guest seminars from visiting surgeons and consultants, who will bring patient cases to share with you, so you can apply your knowledge to a clinical setting. These experts come from a range of specialities and include plastic, cardiothoracic and orthopaedic surgeons, gastroenterologists, radiologists and emergency medicine doctors.
This programme also provides a comprehensive professional education that focuses on developing teachers and researchers of anatomy. You can choose from a range of education electives, where you will study alongside students on the MSc in Health Professions Education programme. You will have the opportunity to conduct a high-quality educational research project, supported by experts in medical education.
By undertaking the MSc in Clinical Anatomy and Education, you will have the ability to put your educational training into practice with the opportunity to teach anatomy on our undergraduate Medicine programme. This experience will prepare you to teach anatomy in a medical environment, whether or not you come from a clinical background. Moreover, you will leave the programme with enough teaching experience to successfully become an Associate Fellow of the Higher Education Academy and gain the right to use the post-nominal letters AFHEA.
*This programme is primarily based at the University of Hull. Some modules involve at least one study day delivered on the University of York campus, see the module information below for details.
