Evaluation Methodology
The INPECA – Erasmus Mundus Master in Intensive and Perioperative Care program combines advanced theoretical knowledge with clinical practice across multiple international partner institutions. Accordingly, its assessment methods are designed to evaluate both academic competence and practical skills, fostering critical thinking, clinical decision-making, and professional development.
Theoretical Assessments
-
Written Exams and Quizzes.
-
Case Studies and Problem-Based Learning: Students analyze clinical scenarios, develop care plans, and justify their decisions using evidence-based practice.
-
Master's Thesis: Research project demonstrating the ability to critically appraise literature, design clinical studies, and propose innovative solutions in intensive and perioperative care.
Practical Assessments
-
Clinical Rotations: Hands-on evaluation in partner hospitals (Spain, Cyprus, Croatia) under supervision, focusing on intensive care, perioperative nursing, and patient safety protocols.
-
Skills Checklists and Competency Assessment: Students are assessed on technical skills, instrument handling, monitoring, and patient management according to internationally recognized standards.
Continuous and Formative Assessment
-
Reflective Journals and Logbooks: Students document clinical experiences, reflecting on patient care, ethical challenges, and professional growth.
-
Group Projects and Presentations: Encourage teamwork, communication, and application of theoretical knowledge in multidisciplinary settings.
-
Mentor and Supervisor Feedback: Continuous feedback during clinical placements ensures ongoing improvement and readiness for professional practice.
Key Features of INPECA Assessment
-
Integration of theory and practice, ensuring graduates are competent in both knowledge and clinical skills.
-
Emphasis on critical thinking, evidence-based decision-making, and humanized care.
-
Mobility-aware evaluation, allowing assessments to adapt to different partner institutions’ schedules and healthcare contexts.
-
Support for international standards and accreditation, preparing students for careers in diverse healthcare systems.
