Overview

COVID-19 is rapidly spreading across the globe and all providers must be prepared to recognize, stabilize and treat patients with novel coronavirus infection. Following completion of this short course physicians, nurses, and other healthcare professionals will have a unified, evidenced-based approach to saving the lives of patients with COVID-19, including those who are critically ill. Learning modules are broken into short videos presented in a richly illustrated and compelling manner. The course is self paced and providers can schedule their learning to fit with their schedules. Topics include symptoms and signs in patients with COVID-19, early stabilization of patients, preventing the need for intubation, and ventilator management. The best evidence and guidelines are summarized while accompanying handouts provide written learning points and links to online resources. Simple infographics are available for providers to utilize within their care facilities to educate and promote optimal care across their entire institution.

This is a comprehensive practical course for managing patients with COVID-19 (and perhaps other highly similar diseases or infections) that is useful for both critical care and primary care practitioners alike.

During these days since the pandemic is the world's current and biggest dilemma, we must acquire knowledge about it to have understanding and to ensure precaution and safety. However, I am not a healthworker nor a front liner, I am still a student.

I also don't plan on pursuing the medical field but I am interested in biology, psychology, human anatomy and physiology and also astronomy. As a student, a part of the youth, I think it is essential for me to know things about this for my protection as well as my family.

Today, our knowledge as well as the perservance to fight and continue will be our weapon on fighting this problem. I truly recommend this course, the video lectures are also great and superb! It was very informative and helpful.

The course was able to give me new knowledge regarding COVID-19. All the materials used were good and easy to understand.
I just hope that the certificate provided will have a better format as the current one has text overlapping with the margin.

Thanks!

So nice and advanced jm 10 and honestly I understood this because of how specific with the kind of information they list.
Jessica

Well structured, well presented and broken down. I liked the pre and post testing broken apart by the lectures. I would have liked if the information was recommended to be spread out over more than one week.
