Learning objectives

The professionalizing workshops are essential learning experiences that anticipate the clinical internship; offer the student the opportunity to experiment in applying the knowledge and theoretical principles acquired, in a safe and controlled environment. The goal is to allow the student to experiment in virtual care settings, without jeopardizing the safety of real patients. They aim to develop both practical skills (through simulations in probable clinical settings, with the use of simulators) and other transversal skills (care, relational, communication, problem solving, critical thinking). They are carried out in small groups, throughout the academic year (I - II semester), under the guidance of tutors.
