Abstract

The goal is to enable students to practice and reinforce the knowledge and skills acquired in lectures through simulated scenarios tailored to the focus of the degree program. Students will subsequently apply the knowledge and skills they have acquired in clinical practice.


The course includes the development of an educational project and its presentation in class.

Learning outcomes

Upon completion of this course, students will be able to:


  • assess the needs of a patient or client,
  • design, implement, and evaluate the educational process, taking into account the patient’s or client’s age and individual characteristics,
  • develop and effectively use educational materials in the educational process.

Key topics
The exercises focus on applying theoretical knowledge to educational practice. Topics include presentations of students’ educational projects, their professional analysis, discussion, giving and receiving feedback, reflection, and evaluation of proposed educational approaches, with an emphasis on their application in clinical practice.
