All classes will be conducted in an attractive workshop format, using anatomical models, phantoms and a variety of medical equipment such as ultrasound machines, ECGs, pulse oximeters, blood pressure monitors, ophthalmoscopes, laryngoscopes and others. Multimedia screens and overhead projectors will also be used to make the classes as interesting and accessible as possible.
Not only does the project provide an opportunity to learn about different medical professions that are often underestimated or have a stereotypical image, but it also allows participants to try their hand at practical activities that doctors and medical staff perform every day. Participants will be able to learn how to perform surgical suturing, auscultation of the heart and lungs, inserting peripheral punctures, collecting material for laboratory tests and much more.
