This course takes a combined look at the urinary and genital systems using an integrated approach to teaching the structure and function of the human body. It is taught in the second semester of the second academic year of the programme as the seventh in a series of system-­based units.

As one of the core courses, it provides a basis for students’ understanding of the relevant anatomy of the excretory and reproductive systems and how these function in health and disease. By inclusion of relevant pathophysiology and the use of case-­based problems, it also provides a foundation for later appreciation of the features, diagnosis and management of common clinical conditions affecting these systems.

This course contributes nine credits towards your MB.BS Degree and successful completion is required for progression into the third year of the programme.
