Surgical Anatomy Upskilling - Pelvis Workshop

Posted Monday 29 April 2024 | James Cook University

This event is a full-day advanced and clinically focused human anatomy workshop covering the pelvis and perineum.

The day will consist of lectures and tutorials conducted in the lab using specimens, with an emphasis on hands-on clinically-focused learning.

The day will consist of four cadaver laboratory sessions interspersed with clinically relevant anatomical lectures.  

Lecture topics will include:

• pelvic inlet, pelvic floor, and perineum
• female reproductive gross anatomy
• male reproductive and urogenital gross anatomy
• neurovascular supply of the pelvic viscera.

Learning outcomes

Participants will engage in directed learning activities that will:

• allow the application of advanced anatomical knowledge to the structural identification and anatomical relationships of pelvis and perineum regions
• enable consolidation and synthesis of functional and regional anatomical knowledge of the male and female reproductive systems, the male urogenital system, and pelvic viscera (topographical anatomy).

Continuing Medical Education
An application for recognition as an approved continuing medical education (CME) activity by RACS (Royal Australasian College of Surgeons) is being prepared that will ensure the content of this workshop is relevant to the learning needs of clinicians.
