COVID-19 is rapidly spreading across the globe and all providers must be prepared to recognize, stabilize and treat patients with novel coronavirus infection.

Learning modules are broken into short videos presented in a richly illustrated and compelling manner. The course is self paced and providers can schedule their learning to fit with their schedules. Topics include symptoms and signs in patients with COVID-19, early stabilization of patients, preventing the need for intubation, and ventilator management. The best evidence and guidelines are summarized while accompanying handouts provide written learning points and links to online resources. Simple infographics are available for providers to utilize within their care facilities to educate and promote optimal care across their entire institution.

TOP REVIEWS FROM COVID-19 TRAINING FOR HEALTHCARE WORKERS

by PAJul 27, 2021

This course is very beneficial to all the health care workers who are currently working in the covid 19 pandemics. I could gain more knowledge about covid-19 symptoms and management of covid-19.

by WMDec 22, 2021

I have done a few COVID-19 online courses, this was by far the most relevant for clinical physicians and those wanting to learn more about acute management. I highly recommend this course!

by FKOct 21, 2020

The course was extremely helpful and informative. It was perfectly balanced between use of pharmacological as well as non-pharmacological interventions used for the management of COVID-19 patients.

by OAug 10, 2020

Great information! More suited for respiratory therapist and other healthcare providers .

I’m a clinical dietitian, not appropriate for my scope of practice but certainly great information!
