Empathy & rigor.

Structured, inclusive learning environments that emphasise accountability, applied learning, and technology integration — bridging theory with practice through clinical case studies, organ dissection, EKG interpretation, and spirometry.

Instruction

3.1

Cadaver-based gross anatomy

Dissection-led instruction for physician assistant students and practising healthcare professionals. Structure correlated with function, then integrated with the pathology — every donor arrived by way of an etiology, and the etiology is the lesson.

3.2

Anatomy & physiology, BSC2085 / BSC2086

Face-to-face, online and hybrid delivery for pre-health students. Cell microscopy, cell physiology and structure, organ function integrated with systemic physiology.

3.3

ARC-PA aligned assessment

Competency-based laboratory instruction, practical examination design, student advising, and academic remediation — mapped to the six ARC-PA domains and driven by progression data.
