Bachelor of Medical Science Honours in Anatomy and Cell Morphology
Health Sciences and Social Services - Curative Health
Purpose and Rationale
As a professional medical scientist specializing in macro-anatomy and cell morphology, I will apply my educational knowledge, skills, principles, and methods to conduct research, analyze data, and contribute to advancements in the field of healthcare.
My expertise in macro-anatomy will allow me to study the structure and organization of tissues and organs at a macroscopic level. I will utilize my knowledge of human anatomy to identify abnormalities, conduct post-mortem examinations, and assist in surgical procedures by providing detailed anatomical information.
In the field of cell morphology, I will be able to investigate and analyze the structure and function of cells, including their organelles and interactions with other cells. By employing various microscopic techniques, I will conduct in-depth studies on cell morphology to understand cellular processes, identify disease markers, and develop new diagnostic techniques.
Furthermore, I will apply my skills in microscopy, tissue processing, and data analysis to make scientific observations, draw conclusions, and communicate my findings effectively in research papers, presentations, and collaborations with interdisciplinary teams.
Overall, my goal as a professional medical scientist in macro-anatomy and cell morphology is to contribute to the development of innovative medical technologies, treatments, and interventions that improve patient care and advance the field of biomedical science.
