Course Overview

The course covers the curriculum through a multimodality learner centred approach including pre course reading, discussions to deliver clarity, hands on practical skill acquisition and application through simulation. Knowledge, skill acquisition and application are assessed through continual formative and summative assessment processes

The course is delivered by experienced faculty from the Faculty of Pre-Hospital Care including experienced crowd doctors, nurses and paramedics. The teaching faculty aims for the courses to be enjoyable, supportive and non-threatening, to respect and build on candidates’ prior experience through a learner centred approach, engaging them in their own learning and encouraging self-reflection and development.
