Curso Livre de Medicina do Viajante 4.0 - Inovação e Prática Dinâmica

Objectives

• Use of electronic vaccination records and interoperable platforms;
• Use of international travel medicine applications (such as CDC TravWell, FitForTravel, ECDC, WHO);
• Digital vaccination planning and alert management;
• Intercultural communication.
 

These skills, which are eminently practical in nature, are not the central focus of traditional courses, which are predominantly centered on medical and epidemiological content. The new Course
4.0 aims to fill this gap by offering a training environment geared towards experimentation, simulation, and digital practice.

Operating Mode

The course will be held in person on May 7th, with a duration of 8 hours (from 9:00 AM to 7:00 PM), awarding a total of 1 ECTS credit.

This course is part of the project Medicine, Technology, and the Future - MedTech NEXT | Digital More Impulse, under the Medicine Reform and Modernization Sub-measure.

The awarding of up to 30 scholarships (subject to the availability of funding) is planned for healthcare professionals of the National Health Service.

The scholarships awarded under the project Medicine, Technology and the Future – MedTech NEXT | More Digital Impulse, Sub-measure Reform and Modernisation of Medicine, comply with the Regulations for Incentive Scholarships under the UAlg+Skills4All and FOSTEAM@SOUTH Projects of the University of Algarve – Adult Impulse. According to paragraph b) of Article 3, the Adult Impulse Incentive Scholarship constitutes annual financial support to partially cover the costs of tuition fees for non-degree courses, aimed at the upskilling or professional reskilling of adults who have reached the age of 23 by 31 December of the year preceding the application.
