Transition course (Application) in Haemodynamics
Summary
Monitoring and manipulating haemodynamics are central technics utilised by our profession. The course will be led by a multidisciplinary panel of top expert faculty and it will provide a competence-based training programme on the main aspects of haemodynamic monitoring in the intensive care unit (ICU). The course will expose participants to a wide range of teaching/learning techniques meant to boost knowledge retain, improve technical and professional skills for better clinical performance and therefore patient outcome.
An online support classroom has been created and includes various study resources on the topic. Participants are welcome to study them for a better in-class performance. Continuous monitoring and follow will be carried out in order to ensure that any shortcomings are avoided.
The classroom will stay open for 3 months after the Live Event. A pre-test will be open 72 hours in advance and will close the first day of the course. The course will be followed by a post-test, available 72 hours post-course along with the quality assessment questionnaire. Pre and post evaluation results will be evaluated to measure the training impact.
Enjoy!
