Course Design/Pedagogical Approach
Blended learning approach
 Students will view dissection videos -
(http://videos.med.wisc.edu/events/65 )
 Students will have the opportunity to either have lectures or laboratory
notes or self-directed study before their practical or theory class.
(https://tophat.com/ (optional)
 Students will be shown an episode of Grey’s anatomy.
 Interactive lecture followed by demonstration/small groups on cadaveric
dissection/ models etc.
Problem-based learning or team-based learning for selected and clinical
oriented topics
Resource tool will be KENHUB for students elaborate learning;
