Critical Care Summer School

The virtual component of the course will be composed of online classes - in the form of recorded video lectures, suggested reading material and instructional videos as a preparation for the practical workshops and simulation training. The Virtual component of this BIP is designed to provide students with fundamental knowledge on the topics respiratory physiology and basics of mechanical ventilation, shock, CPR, airway management, crisis resource management, invasive procedures and ethics. Teaching material is provided via the e-learning platform Moodle. Students can work through the assigned teaching material at their individual pace. An online-multiple choice test at the end of the virtual part ensures a comparable level of knowledge of all participants.. Critical care is a major field of clinical medicine but it is not very well represented in the standard medical curriculum. This CIVIS Summer School will provide students with basic theoretical knowledge in combination with hands-on training in the field of critical care..
