Ebook: Surface and Living Anatomy: An Illustrated Guide for the Therapist

MOSBY, Elsevier, Leith Walk, Edinburgh, 153 pages, ISBN 0 7234 3261 9Many students studying complementary anatomy for the first time experience difficulty learning surface and living anatomy. The aim of this book and the accompanying CD-ROM is to provide access to a method of learning based on behavioural objectives. Each objective states in clear and unambiguous terms the performance to be demonstrated, the standard to be achieved and the conditions. The objectives are given in full on the CD-ROM and most are accompanied by colour images.
To achieve a standard of competence, students are required to progress through a series of logical steps or criteria by which anatomical structures are identified by palpation. These steps are listed with each objective.
The key to success in this step-by-step learning method is knowing where to start, and to progress in simple, clear and related steps to reach the desired standard of competence.
This book gives an insight into what can be achieved by using clear learning objectives and methods to achieve safe and competent standards of knowledge of surface and living anatomy.
