COURSE DESCRIPTION:-
In many rehabilitation neurologically disabled persons are treated as objects to be worked upon, to be
‘normalized’ or made as normal as possible. Disabled persons, object to be attempted by the experts to
fit into the mold of normal. Neuroscience has been a rapidly evolving field that continues to
bring new insights into the human brain. This course will streamline complex information
of brain and make it accessible
to newcomers while still including new and exciting developments.
Objectives:-
 To promote the acquisition of applied anatomical knowledge and skills, and the
application of anatomical sciences.
 Demonstrate a critical awareness of current theories underpinning the knowledge of
applied human clinical anatomical structure and function
 Demonstrate an understanding of the use of established human dissecting techniques
and other anatomical procedures, with a critical awareness of their strengths and
limitations.
 Analyze the application of clinical anatomy to professional practice.
 Evaluate critically the current research and advanced scholarship in the field of human
anatomical knowledge .
