The course takes place in a blended format to offer the learner the most profitable educational experience, first in an asynchronous virtual classroom to approach the concepts of prosectorial anatomy, and then in a physical classroom organized by PhisioVit for anatomical dissection and direct palpation of landmarks and structures. The event has limited seating and can host a maximum of forty participants. The teaching is offered in the following ways:
STEP 1: The course begins with an introductory asynchronous distance learning module on shoulder biomechanics, which includes handouts and video lectures. This initial training helps learners become familiar with Prof. Dr. Ferdinando Paternostro and is essential for introducing them to the subject; it remains available to them within their control panel on the learning platform and can be accessed from any device. It can be started, resumed, and paused whenever and as many times as desired, but must be completed before proceeding to STEP 2, described below.
STEP 2: it ends with an in-person day for the cadaver study of the planes and anatomical structures of the Upper Limb and Shoulder Girdle on Sunday, October 4, 2026, from 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM, with seven and a half actual hours of classroom training net of lunch and coffee breaks.
Program
The entire blended event, titled Upper Limb and Shoulder Girdle: Anatomical Dissection, featuring an on-site day on Sunday, October 4, 2026, is led by Prof. Dr. Ferdinando Paternostro, surgeon, Associate Professor of Human Anatomy, and Managing Editor of the Italian Journal of Anatomy and Embryology. He is a former researcher and Adjunct Professor of Human Anatomy in the Degree Programs in Medicine and Surgery, Physiotherapy, Biotechnology, Nursing, and Medical Radiology Technologists (TSRM). In particular, the schedule for the on-site day is provided below. The teaching staff is complemented by tutoring assistance for learners at the dissection tables provided by the staff of Prof. Dr. Ferdinando Paternostro from the University of Florence, at a ratio of one tutor per ten learners starting from the eleventh participant.
Each practical session will be preceded by brief theoretical sessions that provide an introduction to the practical exercise.
