Welcome to our international course about organ perfusion and resuscitation! In this digital learning environment you will find all the information (e-learning modules, literature, videos and other documents), which is complementary to the course days and the physical contact week of Module 1.
Fundamental knowledge about organ donation, physiology and biomechanics will be discussed in the following four months. The module consists of six online teaching days, one physical contact week and one assessment.
You will run through the course material in chronological order, starting with a general introduction about the program. Subsequently, the general principles of organ donation, physiology and biomechanics will be discussed.
Program Module 1
See or download the detailed schedule of module 1 in resources. This scheduele includes the dates and times of the online teaching days and the physical contact week at the UMCG.
