Opiskelumateriaali

Anatomy and physiology: Learn has study material, tasks and teaching recordings, which should primarily be used because they contain the central study material.
When delving deeper into the subjects of the course, you can use any university of applied sciences textbook of anatomy and physiology.
I recommend: Leppäluoto, Kettunen, Rintamäki, Vakkuri, Vierimaa, Lätti: Anatomy and physiology - From structure to function. (Newest edition - older editions also work) Sanoma Pro Oy (ISBN 978-952-63-5311-1)
Patient safety:
Separately assigned learning material on the Learn platform.

Yksilölliset oppimisväylät

Anatomy and physiology:
The course is implemented in Learn and the course includes interactive teaching and guidance online. The webinars are time-bound and marked in the agenda. You can participate in them from your home computer and they are recorded, so you can watch them as a recording if you cannot participate at the time in question.
The course includes assignments to be returned and performances to be evaluated. These must be completed during the implementation of the course. More detailed instructions on completing the anatomy and physiology section of the course are presented in Learn.
Patient safety:
Part of the study course is carried out independently online, part is carried out by contact via webinars with Teams connection in accordance with the course schedule.

TKI ja työelämäyhteistyö

Patient safety: possibly professionals lectures

Tentit ja muut määräajat

Anatomy and physiology:
Returnable tasks, partial exams and the final exam must be completed during the implementation of the study course, but the student can choose the exact times of completion.
Patient safety:
The certificates of the Patient safety course must be returned to Learn in the return folder reserved for it, within the schedules given in the course.
The return times for learning tasks are informed in the course orientation.

Kansainvälinen yhteistyö

The course does not have a specific goal of international cooperation.

Opiskelijan työmäärä

1 credit corresponds to approximately 27 hours of student work. However, the amount of work depends on the study methods and from previous competence.
