Staying at home? Wanna learn more about the detection and diagnosis of CoronaVirus from top experts? Well, the WHO provides a 3 hours online course. Another course for clinicians is also available now. 

COURSE 1 
Emerging respiratory viruses, including nCoV: methods for detection, prevention, response and control

Course information

Overview: This course provides a general introduction to emerging respiratory viruses, including novel coronaviruses. By the end of this course, you should be able to describe:
  • The nature of emerging respiratory viruses, how to detect and assess an outbreak, strategies for preventing and controlling outbreaks due to novel respiratory viruses;
  • What strategies should be used to communicate risk and engage communities to detect, prevent and respond to the emergence of a novel respiratory virus.
There are resources attached to each module to help you dive further into this topic.
Learning objective: Describe the fundamental principles of emerging respiratory viruses and how to effectively respond to an outbreak.
Course duration: Approximately 3 hours.
Certificates: No certificate available at this time.
Attention:
  • WHO teams are working on additional modules which will be uploaded in the coming days.
  • You will be notified when new modules and videos are uploaded. Currently, the materials are offered as slide decks.
  • The course will offer a certificate in the future, after all of the modules have been published and a quiz has been added to each module.
  • The course materials are currently being translated into other languages.

COURSE 2:
WHO Critical Care Severe Acute Respiratory Infection Training

Course information

Overview: The WHO Critical Care Training Short Course for Severe Acute Respiratory Infection (SARI) includes content on clinical management of patients with a severe acute respiratory infection.
This course is intended for clinicians who are working in intensive care units (ICUs) in low and middle-income countries and managing adult and pediatric patients with severe forms of acute respiratory infection (SARI), including severe pneumonia, acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), sepsis and septic shock. It is a hands-on practical guide to be used by health care professionals involved in critical care management during outbreaks of influenza virus (seasonal) human infection due avian influenza virus (H5N1, H7N9), MERS-CoV, nCoV or other emerging respiratory viral epidemics.
Learning objectives: By the end of this course, participants should:
  • Possess some of the necessary tools that can be used to care for the critically ill patient from hospital entry to hospital discharge.
Course duration: Approximately 10 hours.
Certificates: There are no certificates available at this time.
Target audience: This course is intended for clinicians who are working in intensive care units (ICUs) in low and middle-income countries.
