Teaching methods

The pre-clinical exercises are carried out in the simulator classroom. Part of the armamentarium needed for the training is provided by commercial companies, while another part is purchased by the student.
The student performs the exercises on a simulator under the instructions of the teacher. During the exercises the student can consult his own didactic material.

Due to the emergency situation, lessons may also be delivered remotely (either in synchronous or asynchronous mode) via Microsoft Teams.

Assessment methods and criteria

During the training, the teacher assesses the quality of the exercise performed and, if necessary, corrects the student

Other information

Students will have to purchase personal material necessary for the training
