Course Overview
Managing patients is an essential soft skill which every healthcare worker must develop and be good at. But it becomes particularly challenging when the patient is a child, and you have to communicate with them, and their parent/guardian. It is equal parts art and science, and the Handling Children In A Healthcare Setting programme will help you master it in just four weeks.
In the Handling Children In A Healthcare Setting course by edX, you will learn about normal child development (physical, emotional, cognitive and social). You will master behaviour management concepts to work with paediatric patients. Moreover, the training incorporates experiential teaching methods and advanced technologies like VR, to help you observe children in dental and other medical settings.
In the Handling Children In A Healthcare Setting online course developed by the National University of Singapore (NUS), you will learn about age-inappropriate behaviours and ways to identify them for a better diagnosis and early intervention. Candidates will also learn to work with patients having special needs. Edx does offer 2 tracks, one is the audit and the other is the verified track. The audit track is free but it offers limited access and the verified track is paid but gives unlimited access to the course materials.
