Skeletal Pathology and Traumatology: An Advance Course (CPD)
Cyprus, 2023
July 22 - July 27
Available places: 4
An intensive course (40 hours) aimed at students or professionals who wish to obtain an in-depth knowledge of skeletal pathology and traumatology. This course is fully taught and the training combines lectures and hands-on practical experience using a variety of pathological cases from the Cyprus Research Reference Collection (CRRC). The collection consists of up to 2000 individuals and is highlighted by a high number of pathologies present at varied degrees of skeletal expression.
The practical workshops and tutorials aim to help participants develop advance skills in the identification, recording and diagnosis of skeletal lesions; contextualize the use and management of skeletal pathology as a tool for human identification in the medico-legal framework; in best practices for reconstructing demographic and population health models in contemporary settings and in bioarchaeology; develop research skills and expand their understanding on the biological and social implications of trauma and disease.
The course is based on extensive hands-on skeletal analysis of real pathological cases which aims to teach skills in the differentiation of pathological lesions and diagnosis within a probabilistic framework.
