Miss Charlotte Casey MSc FHEA

Personal Statement

After graduating from the University of Sheffield with a BSc(Hons) in Biomedical Science in 2019, I went on to continue my studies by completing an MSc in Human Anatomy with Education from the University of Sheffield. During this time, I also demonstrated anatomy through dissection, prosection and small group activities for the undergraduate biomedical science students. From this work, I received recognition of my good teaching practice by being awarded Fellowship with the Higher Education Academy (FHEA).

In 2020, after graduating from the MSc programme, I joined the anatomy team at the University of Birmingham where I taught across a number of different undergraduate and postgraduate programmes including medicine, dentistry, biomaterials, pharmacy and biomedical science. There I took part in both prosection based teaching in the lab and running online interactive sessions for students. These classes proved challenging with the moving of anatomical teaching into an online environment. To combat this I pursued an area of developing creative and active learning methodologies such as drawing and model-making in order to help students ability to learn from home. This is something I have continued to explore and develop into resources that can support students understanding within face-to-face classes.

I joined HARC (Human Anatomy Resource Centre) at the University of Liverpool in 2021 where I began teaching on the undergraduate anatomy programme and second-year medical students. I am currently the lead demonstrator for second-year medical students, demonstrating in all of the practical classes. I am also responsible for organising our clinical volunteers, who are current doctors in the NHS that can join our practical classes in order to support the students understand of clinical anatomy and pathology.
