Biomedical Science for Osteopathy 1 introduces students to fundamental principles of biomedical sciences relevant to osteopathy. These fundamental principles include anatomical principles, physiology of cells and organ systems, and the body’s self-regulatory mechanisms. The knowledge obtained in this unit will underpin the learning of biomedical sciences applied to the head, trunk and limbs in successive units.
On successful completion of this unit, students will be able to:
The week 1 quiz aims to consolidate fundamental knowledge of content presented in the first week.
The multi-station practical examination requires students to identify anatomical structures and key steps in physiological processes. The examination will consist of multiple stations. Each station will have associated questions relating to material presented in workshop and laboratory sessions. The laboratory sessions in week 1-3 will include practice questions related to this assessment to provide students with formative feedback throughout the unit.
The final test assesses the full scope of the HBO1001 curriculum and is scaffolded by formative quizzes throughout the unit.
Required textbooks will be used in units throughout the first three years of the Osteopathy course.
