The Nervous System
Functional Anatomy - Dr Willard
Advanced Osteopathy Institute is pleased to present the new 2022 functional anatomy course taught in live-streaming by professor Frank Willard in collaboration with the New England College of Osteopathic Medicine, one of America’s most prestigious osteopathy universities.
This new learning experience originates from the long-term collaboration that our institute has with professor Willard and aims to launch an ambitious and innovative teaching model. The course aims to deliver a thorough understanding of the functional anatomy of the nervous system. The distinctiveness of this course is rooted in professor Willard’s expertise and the opportunity to cover four different fields during this unique training programme: anatomy, physiology, pathology and neuroscience.
The course includes 11 live-streaming units divided into 22 lectures scheduled throughout 2022 and 2023. Each unit provides five training hours for a total amount of 55 training hours. The training will also include in-depth meetings in the dissection lab where the lecturer will show directly on a cadaver some notions covered during the theoretical part.
The participants can attend each unit individually as it covers the single topic completely.
All lectures will be fully recorded, including the dissection lab meetings, and the participants will be able to review the recordings.
