 Cursos gratuitos da Associação Médica Mundial

Estava apenas navegando no site da World Medical Association quando me deparei com alguns cursos oferecidos por uma das maiores entidades médicas do planeta.

Ao todo são 7 cursos que a entidade oferece. A maioria deles são relativos à ética médica. Outros são relativos a problemas comuns em algumas atividades médicas tais como medicina prisional, antibioticoterapia responsável e pesquisa médica.

Os cursos são antigos (alguns datam de 2004 sua última atualização) mas são todos chancelados e certificados pela WMA. Outro "problema" é que os cursos são em inglês. Coloco entre aspas porque convenhamos que não é possível imaginar que um médico não saiba pelo menos ler na língua universal da ciência. Por este motivo não me dei ao trabalho ao trabalho de traduzir os conteúdos programáticos de cada curso.

Problemas a parte, os cursos podem sim ajudá-lo a construir um currículo melhor e mais "humano". A duração deles varia de 8h a 22h entre aulas e testes,  o que garante o certificado gerado pela instituição.

Os cursos disponíveis e seus conteúdos são:

Microbial Resistance CME

n 2011, the World Health Organization (WHO) reported that 63,000 patients die each year in US hospitals and 25,000 patients lose their lives annually in the European Union due to antibiotic-resistant infections. The annual estimated economic burden is US $2.1 billion in the European Union, US $34 billion in the United States, and US $2.453 billion globally.

Antimicrobial drug resistance (AMR or AMDR) is a multidimensional and systemic failure of the health, education, societal behavior, and medical policies and practices.

Four major challenges should be recognized and addressed by the world medical community.

  • AMDR is extending beyond national boundaries, presenting a significant threat to health and increasing the costs of medical care.
  • Collaboration among healthcare, pharmaceutical, agricultural, and consumer communities is a prerequisite to ward off this evolving pandemic.
  • Adequate funding for proactive surveillance and development of new antimicrobial drugs and vaccines should be made available.
  • Antibiotic drug stewardship, including education of stakeholders, implementation of hygiene practices, and responsible dispensing and use, are essential strategic elements of all preventive practices.
  • Research Ethics Course - TRREE

    Training and Resources in Research Ethics Evaluation - TRREE is headed by a consortium of interested persons from Northern and Southern countries. It aims to provide basic training, while building capacities, on the ethics of health research involving humans so that research meets highest standards of ethics and promotes the welfare of participants. TRREE achieves this goal primarily by developing a training program with local collaborators. In its initial stages TRREE focused primarily, but not exclusively, on the needs of African countries.

    The training modules are available on a free and open-access basis. Most modules are provided in several languages: English, French, German and Portuguese.

    Beside the training modules, TRREE also offers national supplements providing a detailed overview of the national legislation and regulation of health research in several countries from Africa and Europe.

    Check TRREE regularly as new national supplements and training modules in new languages are being put online.
