Regional Anatomy for Core Surgical Trainees (Scotland Deanery)

On behalf of the Scotland Deanery, we are pleased to report that Anatomy@Edinburgh successfully hosted the first ‘One Day Review of Whole Body Anatomy’ (on Monday 27 August) as part of a new training programme in Regional Anatomy for Core Surgical Trainees.

The faculty from the Anatomy Department (Mr Ross Jones, Mr Jeremy Mortimer and Prof Tom Gillingwater) were joined by 25 Core Surgical Trainees from across Scotland for an interactive, hands-on practical review of clinical/surgical anatomy in a small group setting.

Subsequent days will see the complete cohort of trainees (approximately 90 in total) rotate through similar reviews of limb, trunk and head & neck anatomy, with an emphasis on the three-dimensional appreciation of anatomical structure and relationships underpinning physical diagnosis and safe surgery.
