Abstract:

Aim and object of the study: This project is aimed at adapting and integrating innovative training courses and results from previous Leonardo da Vinci project into continuing VET of medicine professionals (residents, surgeons) and professionals involved in implants development and manufacturing Methods. An E-learning course is presented and discussed in details, after being approved by an analysis of experience and needs or orthopaedic surgeons and residents in three participating countries and performing a field trial test. Results: An adapted E-learning course for residents and orthopaedic surgeons in learning new techniques for osteosyntesis, management of fractures using implants, postoperative complications, requirements for implants design is presented . Definition of learning outcomes for surgeons' courses is performeed. Conclusion: The added value of this project will be in the improved quality and attractiveness of the continuing VET in the target countries by transferring existing innovations to new geographic environments and across the sectors of medicine and engineering.
