Summary The aim of the undergraduate course in topo‐ graphical anatomy should be to enable the student more meaningfully to carry out a physical medical examination, and to become familiar with the nor‐ mal, thus providing the intellectual and technical background for later study of the abnormal. Attendance at postgraduate courses should be com‐ pulsory for admission to postgraduate surgical examinations; such courses should becomplementary, not supplementary, to undergraduate courses.
