Teaching Methods
This course has a strong practical component and combines teaching in three different environments:
- 10 hours of training with medical simulation;
- 4 hours of theoretical and practical training in small group teaching;
- 18 hours (three periods of 6 hours) of instruction in the operating room with an anesthetist by student ratio of 1:1 or at most 2:1.
The training methodology is focused primarily on skills development with practical application throughout students’ professional life.
