Offer 1 with catalog number 1007523BNR for all students in the 1st semester at a (B) Bachelor - advanced level.
This course has two units: 'Welbeing, Physical Activity and health' en 'First Aid'. The first unit help to have more insight in the need for a healthy lifestyle, prevention of illness and diseases, and modern individual and social health problems such as stress and burn out. Several behavior change models, approaches and guidelines are presented and discussed. In the second part, first aid is practiced in order to be able to handle correct and efficient in different situations. Thanks to the availability of different tools/apps, mannikins and AED's, students have hands-on experience with different victims (age groups). The approach of the lessons is based on blended-learning with lots of video material available on the platfom and the possibility to send in the own CPR performances.
Students with a special and official recognized situation (high level athletes, international students, students with a job, …) have to contact the teacher in the beginning of the semester to agree on the approach of missing practical sessions.
