Course Introduction

Dr Mark Hill

Course coordinator

This first lecture will be a general introduction to the course and the subject of Embryology.


Firstly, an introduction to the course, its content, method of presentation, assessment and an opportunity to ask questions.
Secondly, some historic background to the subject and related current Australian trends. I do not expect you to remember specific historic dates or statistical data, this is provided as an introduction to the topic.


I like my lectures to be interactive, so ask me questions and I will also be asking you questions!
