All courses are orientated around bodily structures, their properties and their interactive functions. Therefore, revision of relevant anatomy and physiology (e.g. from undergraduate courses) is ESSENTIAL. You will benefit greatly from familiarity with relevant core information, as related to each component subject area. You will find it REALLY useful, therefore, to engage in some background preparation for each day.
