This will help you to apply your understanding of basic anatomy to common clinical scenarios and research being undertaken at the University of Leeds.

For example, in the first week of the course you will examine the complex anatomy of the abdominal wall and discover why this area is of particular interest to surgeons during inguinal hernia repair.
