Course Overview

Through the Human Anatomy for Stroke course, candidates get an opportunity to analyse & visualize human anatomy even if they are layman to it. In this course, the learners will understand the fundamentals of human anatomy & by a logical approach, backed by a typical clinical case of stroke, they will get to understand how to dissect the human body. The Human Anatomy for Stroke course by Edx scrupulously articulates the application of knowledge about human anatomy by adding a real-life severe stroke case.

The Human Anatomy for Stroke certification course starts right from the fundamentals in a very layman’s language & then gradually extends to Module 3, which delves deeper into the human anatomy to avoid the candidates feeling overwhelmed at first sight or to better include all those candidates who are not directly related to the medical profession & have no prior knowledge about the human body and how it works its way even throughout the most complex biological processes. There are 2 pathways, one is the audit mode and the other is the verified mode. During the audit mode, the candidates are allowed limited period access whereas during the verified mode, the candidates will be offered unlimited access to the course materials.
