Hey,

I was just wondering, my school "mentor" and librarian LOL! said that in our first year of MedSc we get a Dead Body REAL!!!! for our Anatomy, Histology and Physiology practicals.

Can anyone tell me if this is true or not.

Thanks,

Yeh, their called cadavers by the way and their heads are usually shaven to protect their identitity.
In intro to anatomy and histology you will be using cadavers or parts of cadavers for disections, viewing, etc. Quite a few times esp if your at Campbelltown, the Hawkesbury people only have 3 cadaver practical sessions scheduled.

Yeh, Sci Adv(Med Sci) at Hawkesbury, Ctown is just too far for me, esp when I live in the Hawkesbury.

You will still need the min uai requirements of either 93 for GWS or 95 after 1 year of studies + umat for an interview. It really does look like everyone who's doin med sci at uws is trying to get into med.

do they creep you out with the dissecting of a real human body? what about the smell? i am just wondering because i did biology and we had to dissect a ox kidney which was okay kinda went gagged cause of the smell and next was the cane toad which i almost puked at since the smell was rank. Now i am wondering if med sci is for me ....?
