Join Dr Ourania Varsou and Dr Alison Cairns on Tuesday, 4th of Feb, at 1-3pm in the Anatomy Museum, Thomson Building to hear about their latest project, Basic Science in Focus: Engaging Dental Students in the Study of Anatomy via a Novel Innovation in E-Learning. Funded by the Learning and Teaching Development Fund, the project involved creating short, content-focused videos that bridge the gap between anatomy and clinical practice for the BDS programme.

 

The project group would like to use this workshop as an opportunity to share the project findings, gain feedback on knowledge exchange opportunities and explore how these videos could be adapted for other programmes and the general public. Tea and coffee, along with nibbles, will be provided at the event. Please feel free to share this invitation with any colleagues who may be interested in contributing or learning more about the project.

 

If you would like to attend the workshop, please fill out the following form by Friday 31st of Jan 2025. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to get in touch with Dr Ourania Varsou Ourania.Varsou@glasgow.ac.uk.

 

Project Background
The project included:

  • Videos providing clinical context for anatomy lab sessions focussing on BDS3 in the first instance.
  • Reciprocal videos where anatomical content was presented to enhance understanding in clinical teaching focussing on BDS1.
  • Examples included Head and Neck Surface Anatomy for extra-oral examinations in BDS1 or Laryngeal Airways for the BDS3 larynx dissection, and all video resources can be accessed here.
