Teaching methods

Lectures take form of a distance learning – on-line lessons. They can be found in the First Aid e-learning, both as pdf presentations and video-lectures. Studying these lectures is a prerequisite for successful colloquium.

Assessment methods

First Aid ends with a colloquium consisting of two parts: • On-line test after 7th practise • Practical part – 1 simulation focused on the access to the unconscious and CPR of an adult or child; the evaluation of the simulation follows a standardized checklist - OSCE (Objective Structured Clinical Evaluation); the course is basically no different from what students will get used to in Practice.

Language of instruction

English
