Católica Medical School is organising SimSchool for secondary school students from March 25 to 27, which is intended to be an intensive week of immersion in different experiences in clinical areas at the Hospital da Luz Learning Health simulation centre.

SimSchool represents an opportunity for students and young people – for some probably the first – to practice approaching patients in medical consultations and in the emergency room in a safe and controlled simulation environment. Here you will be able to acquire the basic fundamentals, perform essential techniques for managing these cases and, in critical situations, apply CRM principles to improve skills that contribute to teamwork, such as communication and leadership.

Throughout this program, students will have different experiences:

• Medical consultation for simulated patients, where the clinical history is taken, interprets exams and has access and records data in the clinical process;
• Training of non-technical skills for teamwork;
• Approaching a victim in cardiorespiratory arrest and resuscitation maneuvers;
• Interactive sharing of a doctor's experience;
• Coaching sessions for admission to medical school - how to get into a top medical school?;
• Networking with medical students.

PROGRAMME

Transform4Europe is hosting an online Training & Experiences Sharing Session on "How to make science more engaging and sociable?" on April 15. Aimed at PhD students, researchers and staff from T4EU's partner universities, this training session takes place on Microsoft Teams from 8:00 to 14:45.

The session consists of two parts. The first part is dedicated to citizen science and will focus on the presentation of its concept and main principles, limitations and problems that could be encountered during citizen science projects. The trainers will also share their experience in implementing citizen science projects or related activities in different countries and universities.

The second part is dedicated to improving science communication competencies. The program comprises theoretical and practical approaches, covering topics such as the complexity of science communication, ethics in the field, navigating visual misinformation, and utilizing social media tools for effective communication. Led by experts from various institutions, the program aims to enhance participants' skills in conveying scientific information and navigating the challenges of communication in today's diverse media landscape.
