JOHN YUEN: Hi everyone.
ANA101x is an open online course introducing the anatomy of human body
from the perspective of six allied health disciplines,
including Nursing, Optometry, Physiotherapy, Occupational
Therapy, medical Laboratory Science, and Radiography.
Our course will last for eight weeks, which
is guided by a typical clinical case of stroke
for your learning of generic human anatomy knowledge.

The real life case scenario will be presented
at the first week of the course with a micro-movie and six allied health
role-play videos acted by a team of Hong Kong actors and medical professionals.

Stroke affects our closest relationships.
It is likely to be a tough time not just for stroke survivors,
but also for their partners, family members, and friends.
If you were one of them, would you take this opportunity
to better understand our body systems and allied health
services that are vital in getting your loved ones up?
If you want to be a health care professional anywhere in the world,
this course can equip you with the qualification in human anatomy
that is essential for all medical positions and clinical practices.

And now I would like to introduce our interdisciplinary teaching
team that involves six local members from the teaching
team of the current human anatomy course in the Faculty of Health
and Social Science of the Hong Kong Polytechnic University.
They will be responsible for teaching for genetic anatomy being
covered in this course from week two to week six.
INSTRUCTORS: Hi everyone, welcome to the course ANA101x, Human Anatomy.
In weeks seven and eight, a clinical neurologist,
together with a number of renowned guest professors from different parts
of the world will help to round up the anatomy knowledge being
learned with the stroke case.
Finally, I would also like to acknowledge my colleagues representing
particular health disciplines, who helped in developing
the case scenario and role-play videos.
Our target audience include potential students and current students
of any allied health disciplines, as well as
the general public who is interested in knowing more
about our human body, especially those who
may have family members suffering from stroke or any common illnesses
to take care of.
If you want to know more about our course objectives,
you can refer to our About Page of the course.
We look forward to seeing you in The Human Anatomy ANA101x in August 2015.
