The students should be able to clarify and describe how the human body is organised and how it functions, with added emphasis on skeletal anatomy and topographical anatomy.The students should be able to clarify and describe microbial structures, growth and metabolism, and also how their excistence can be reduced /eradicated. They should also be able to utilise this knowledge/proficiency to prevent infections.

Obligatory requirement: An individual test will be given from a selection of anatomy and physiology questions. This coursework assessment must be approved (pass mark), before the student can sign up for the final four hour written exam. Further information concerning this test will be given at the beginning of term.

Obligatory attendance is required as stated in the curriculum.
