An article entitled "The impact of pandemics on education—“a nice monster of COVID-19”—Mini review" has been published on the Frontiers website. All partners contributed to it. The article deals with the following contents.
The COVID-19 pandemic highlighted the urgent need for specialized medical professionals, including specialist nurses. To address this, healthcare systems should collaborate with national agencies to develop and implement comprehensive curricula for training these specialists. The educational process should be based on international standards, incorporating digital education techniques like e-learning, interactive content, and virtual reality-based medical models. Trainers should adopt a supportive role, guiding and organizing the educational process. Assessment methods should also be modernized to include digital techniques like quizzes, assignments, and objective structured clinical examinations. This review provides insights into effective learning and training techniques for innovative medical education.
The ISN – Innovative Skills for Nurses fourth partners' meeting was held in Targu Mures, Romania, on July 4-5, 2024. All partners were in attendance, discussing several key topics. These included the withdrawal of the French partner, an assessment of the curricula by the target groups, a peer review of the online course, and the planning of a Digital Repository of images. This repository is intended to enhance learning scenarios dedicated to the training of advanced nurses, reflecting the consortium's commitment to improving nursing education and ensuring the continued success of the ISN project.
Partners have started the process of adaptation and recognition of teh curricula in their university and university partners. This process will last for the whole project.
