This course is only available to students who have been accepted into the UBC Certificate in Biomedical Visualization and Communication.
The goal of this course is not only for you to understand the human body, but to build a rich biomedical vocabulary that you can use confidently with your audience. Using a virtual 3D anatomy tool pioneered by instructor Dr. Claudia Krebs and her team, and Faculty of Medicine biomedical education materials, you review the anatomical structures and physiological principles of the major body systems.
By the end of this course, you will be able to:
- understand the basic structures and functions of the human body
- use medical language comfortably and confidently that’s adapted for your audience
- conduct research online, critically evaluate biomedical and anatomical facts, and disseminate medical information from a place of understanding and confidence
- apply design and user experience (UX) principles in both visual and communication assignments.
