(B) Professional information
(1) Course Aims:
The broad aims of the course are as follows:
1- To prepare our candidates to acquire knowledge, competencies, skills
and applications in different branches of Surgical Anatomy.
2- To give our candidate the ability to integrate the Surgical Anatomy data
properly in service of Surgery and the ability to integrate data obtained
from clinical examination and investigations properly for ideal
management for the surgical patient.
3- The purpose of the training program of the Master degree is to prepare
the physician for the independent practice of clinical Surgery. This training
must be based on supervised clinical work with increasing responsibility
for outpatients and inpatients. It must have a foundation of organized
instruction in the basic Surgery science.
4-Teaching the anatomy related to surgical practice
5-Teaching the anatomy related to Clinical surgical practice with concern
to different variants of anatomical background and how to avoid
complications
6-Teaching the main topics of anatomical disorders
with different
environmental factors that play a role in many related diseases
7-Training the candidate how to search for the recent knowledge and how
to apply this in his field
