Renal Replacement Therapy in ICU
Summary
This unique, interactive training experience blends theory with practice and is now offered in new formats that overcome social distancing barriers and facilitate the transfer of what is being learned throughout the sessions to the clinical setting with immediate feedback from the experts to improve your daily practice.
The training programme employs a variety of educational strategies, from interactive lectures, moderated debates, interviews with experts, to case-based sessions, video analysis and group work.
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!
