This short course will build on your existing cardiac embryology, physiology and morphology to develop your skills and awareness to critically evaluate congenital and acquired paediatric heart disease and how those conditions are managed. This course will also provide you with a focused overview of research methods and innovative strategies used in the diagnosis and management of children with cardiac disease.
Topics covered will include:
- Neonatal Cardiology / Congenital Heart Disease
- Cardiomyopathies
- Acquired heart disease
- Rhythm abnormalities
- Innovations in Paediatric cardiology
- Longer term outcomes
The course runs online over 5 consecutive weeks, and you are expected to conduct approximately 7 to 10 hours of self-directed study per week, depending on your pace of learning. This consists of weekly directed tasks that you can undertake at your own pace and timing, such as watching recorded lectures, assigned reading or reflection and forum work, but also may consist of group work online. There are also planned synchronous sessions during the course to discuss ideas, present group and individual work and to facilitate further learning.
Short course students will not be formally assessed on the course however, you will receive feedback for any submitted activities such as participation and contribution to group work and interactive sessions including a workshop within the course.
Evidence of sufficient participation will be required to obtain a course certificate.
