Introduction

 

This Basic Surgical Sciences Module is designed for PGY1 postgraduate students enrolled in different surgical postgraduate programs in Rwanda. The course combines regional, systemic, and clinically oriented anatomy and other basic sciences to allow a more integrated understanding of the relationships, organization, and functioning of the human body in its major regions including the head, neck, thorax, abdomen, pelvis, perineum, back and limbs and major systems related to those regions. Diagnostic imaging, pathophysiology, and clinical scenarios will be used to ensure the acquisition of high-level competencies in “problem-solving” and “critical thinking”.
