Module 5
Advanced practice in the critical care and emergencies patient.
The most specialized competencies are reinforced through the completion of various courses endorsed by national and international entities (SCCM, AHA, ERC, NAEMT, …).
To access Module 5, Modules 1 and 2 must have been completed or validated, and Modules 3 and 4 must be in progress.
Objectives and Competencies
Module 5, Advanced Practice, aims to reinforce the competencies acquired in more specific contexts of critical patient care and emergencies, so that students gain further specialization in topics of their interest.
To this end, various courses endorsed by national and international entities (SCCM, AHA, ERC, SEM, NAEMT, AAP) are offered, in addition to current affairs activities.
Methodology and Teaching Resources
Theoretical-practical training in Pediatrics and Obstetrics: this training, common to all students, is based on viewing asynchronous virtual theoretical lessons and on conducting face-to-face practical workshops on the critical obstetric patient and initial care at delivery, as well as on the approach to the critical pediatric patient.
Conferences with experts: organized in synchronous virtual symposium format, including presentations on current topics in the field of critical care, given by national and international reference speakers.
Specialization courses: monographic courses to provide advanced competencies in the approach to critical patients, accredited by different entities.
Students choose a minimum of 2 and a maximum of 3 courses from among those offered that may be of interest to them. The student will have material for initial self-study, followed by a face-to-face phase of theoretical-practical activities lasting 1 to 4 days.
