Academics

BSc Hons Clinical Anatomy
2020 and 2021-Co- chaired with Ms Kerri A. Keet.
Synchronous (MS Teams) & Asynchronous (WhatsApp) forum exploring research ethics & scientific writing.

M EngSc Biomedical Engineering
(Institute for Biomedical Engineering, IBE)
Division of Clinical Anatomy in collaboration with IBE.
Mr Jaudon Foiret and I reconceptualised the old ‘kinesiology 814’ module content to be a biomechanical engineering orientated general anatomy module. The outcomes focused on:
– Introduction to field discourse for engineers.
– A basic knowledge of human anatomical structures and movement.
– Developing an ability to communicate with healthcare providers about anatomy.

The skills to use textbooks and electronic reference material.

MMSc Sports and Exercise Medicine
(Institute for Sports and Exercise Medicine, ISEM)
Division of Clinical Anatomy in collaboration with ISEM.
Prof Wayne Dermann approached me in 2019 to help develop content for his MSc program and incorporate dissection sessions. In 2021 Mr Jaudon Foiret and I developed the content further, incorporating Primal Pictures.

Dr Allison Ridel, post doc researcher and 3D Imaging and statistical trainer UP
A 3 day course about the interpretation of skeletal trauma patterns. The course incorporated the use of 3D Printed models and optical 3D Scanning.

With the advent of the COVID-19 pandemic and the necessity of online teaching Mr Bryan Bergsteedt and I used Primal Pictures to develop new assessment questions to simulate the traditional ‘cadaver spot tests’.

(Colleges of Medicine of SA, CMSA)
Division of Clinical Anatomy in collaboration with the Division of Orthopaedic Surgery.
For the CMSA final Orthopaedic exams I designed 2 OSCE stations testing clinical anatomy knowledge in the context of surgical approaches.
Cadaver station: Prosected shoulder to demonstrate and discuss the delto-pectoral approach to the shoulder.
Dry-bone station: Pelvis and femur with muscle origins and insertions, candidates were asked to identify muscles encountered in the Smith-Petersen approach to the hip.
