Objectives of the Course The aim of this course is to enable students to reinforce the knowledge acquired in theoretical courses by applying it in a clinical setting, to provide experience in patient care during the anesthesia process, to support their recognition of the professional situations they may encounter, and to develop their professional ethics and teamwork skills.
Course Content It aims to enable students to find the opportunity to apply the knowledge they have learned theoretically in a clinical setting. During the training, students work in accordance with patient safety principles in the operating room and anesthesia practice areas, observing and practicing the preparation, control, and use of anesthesia devices, monitoring procedures, and the preparation and administration of drugs. They also support the anesthesia team during surgical processes, experience basic emergency intervention practices, and learn approaches to complications. In this process, students gain the opportunity to develop teamwork, communication, professional ethics, and a sense of responsibility.
Course Methods and Techniques Clinical/workplace practice, observation, demonstration, one-to-one mentoring, and skills practice techniques are used.
