Description
Informatics technology is used for teaching purposes. All presentations have the form of power point presentations. Moreover, regarding laboratory "hands-on" teaching multiple wet and dry labs are performed. Wet-labs include sessions of extracorporeal circulation on laboratory animals, while dry labs consist of simulations of extracorporeal circulation and intraaortic balloon pump.
For communication purposes, e-mail and online real-time communication platforms, such as Zoom and Microsoft Teams are frequently used.
