Module access requirements
- Module access: the student must be currently enrolled in or have completed Module 1.
Methodology and Teaching Resources
- Virtual Directed Work: The directed work consists of various activities to be carried out through the online platform of the Virtual Campus (Moodle) synchronously and in parallel with Module 1. Its main objective is the basic knowledge of the use and handling of materials, algorithms, scales, and protocols, as well as training in basic decision-making in the management of critically ill patients.
- Practical Workshops: In-person activities aimed at perfecting the competencies of each thematic area. Workshops will be held for training technical skills and other workshops with simulation scenarios to train decision-making learned in the previously conducted virtual and autonomous work.
- Life Support Courses: Theoretical and practical courses on the chain of survival, where skills involved in basic and advanced life support will be taught.
