Dissection at Leeds

[brianfall]

Hello all,

does anyone know how dissection is taught at Leeds. Do you actually get to do it yourself or just observe?

How many hours dissection would you get in a month?

Thanks in advance,
Brian

You do dissection yourself in most sessions, in groups of about 5 to a table. There are several demonstrators in the room to advise. In other sessions, such as the vertebral column, you look at prosections in small groups and the demonstrator talks you through it.

In the first and second years (all I've experienced so far) about 2 hours a week or 2 hours a fortnight depending on the module.
