Biomedical Science for Osteopathy 8

The test evaluates key concepts of anatomy, physiology, pathology, specific to the upper gastrointestinal tract. The essay requires students to individually develop a commentary on a common digestive disorder. To successfully complete this written task, students will need to engage with the scientific literature and discuss the potential role that osteopathy can play in the management of their selected disorder. The multi-station laboratory exam assesses students’ knowledge of the anatomy, physiology, histology, embryology and pathology of the abdomen and pelvis. This practical assessment uses specimens, models, and histology slides explored in the laboratory classes. In the case study analysis, students must demonstrate their knowledge of biomedical theory in the context of clinical scenarios. This assessment requires students to apply their knowledge of anatomy, physiology, and pathology, by responding to patient scenarios involving genitourinary and hormonal disorders.
