Our
emphasis is strongly on enabling students to piece all the information
together and understand how and why the field is presented in the way
it is in scientific literature, at the same time making it relevant and
dynamic for ourselves as alternative health practitioners. You gain a
strong grounding in the useful detail of anatomy, physiology and
pathology.
How we offer it
It
is run as an intensive course time-wise - 2 blocks of 5 days and
followed by 2 final days - and it is also intensive in the process of
learning. For many people, being immersed in the subject helps with the
speed and depth of the links they are able to make. Then they remember
the information.
There are 75 hours of tuition and 40
hours of home study expected. This includes some personal tutorial time
between the different weeks. There is 'homework' and an exam at the
end. the revision time required gives you a great chance to pull
everything together and really is worth the effort!
The
pathology section of the course includes a visit to the Gordon Museum
of Pathology at King's College London, a facility not open to the
public. An extraordinary place, it houses a huge selection of
pathological tissue specimens and can really help understand us some of
the results of different disease processes.
As in all our
courses we vary the ways we present different material, using lectures,
games, group work and even visualisation to cover the topics in ways
that suit everyone's learning style. We encourage skills in
communicating and applying this knowledge, as well as discussion of
issues in biomedical science relevant to complementary health.
