  • facial irrigation and innervation

Practical goals:

  • being able to identify the different anatomical structures 
  • to apply theoretical knowledge in clinical practice

Competences/Learning outcomes of the degree programme

  • Encourage students to update and train continuously 
  • pre-clinical work with phantoms in order to apply theoretical knowledge 
  • Practical application of theoretical knowledge daily

 

Learning outcomes of the subject

The knowledge gained in this course will give the student a three-dimensional view of the anatomy and development of the head and neck. This is essential for clinical diagnosis and also facilitate the detection and resolution of problems in clinical practice.
