Course Overview
The course is one of the initiatives of the Oswaldo Cruz Foundation (Fiocruz, Brazil) which, in the face of the health emergency scenario, seeks to contribute to the strengthening of the health system in order to face this and other health challenges.
The course is introductory in nature: it provides training for professionals working in health services for the clinical management of the disease. Besides being essential in the response to the pandemic, these professionals have been exposed in terms of work overload and risk of infection.
The course content is based on World Health Organization guidelines plus recommendations from the literature and health experts. The modules comprise brief texts, coupled with classes and videos that address relevant aspects for preventing and coping with the disease. In addition, the course includes a set of reliable sources with frequent updates on COVID-19.
Target Audience
The first module is introductory to serve both health professionals and the general population. The second module is aimed at health professionals, focusing on the work of primary health care units.
Structure and Duration
The course has a duration of 15 hours and is organized in two modules that can be taken individually.
Certification
The course includes two online multiple-choice assessments at the end of each module, in which the certificate of completion is issued upon obtaining 80% of correct answers.
