Structure of the New Postgraduate courses
From July 2009, we will be implementing a new suite of courses which build upon our highly successful Postgraduate diploma of Perioperative and Critical Care Echocardiography course. We now provide for a much broader range of options. The new Certificate level course represents half the body of work of a Diploma, and will therefore be applicable for many specialists who wish to gain relatively rapid training an ultrasound that is very relevant to their own clinical area of specialty.
The second key change has been to implement the Core and Optional components to each course. Therefore, approximately 50% of the content of the Certificate and of the Diploma course will be selected by the student to best reflect their own clinical interest and specialty.
The final aspect is the notion of Nested courses. What this means, is that all students must enrole in the Certificate in the first instance (50 points). If they wish to then proceed and complete a Diploma (100 points), the Certificate course already completed will count for 50% of the Diploma course; should they wish to complete the Masters course (150 points), then the diploma course work will be recognized as being the first 100 points of this course. The new Diploma course will be directly equivalent to the old Diploma course including the same course materials, scope and knowledgebase. Read more....
