E-Learning Forum

Every first Thursday of the month there will be the opportunity to spend an evening with other students and a teacher at AM Academy. We call this day “E-learning forum” and it should serve as an opportunity for sparring with the other students, as well as help with topics in anatomy and physiology. It is also possible to talk to other students about reading and note technology or spend the time reading or doing a topic test if you want peace of mind.

It is stressed that this is not necessarily a question of education and that it is not compulsory to attend. Students may need to inform the teacher about the topics they would like help with before the e-learning forum is held, so that the teacher can be best prepared and possibly prepare a proper teaching on a desired topic. In this case, the teacher informs about this in advance.

Teaching materials

The course is built around the 3rd edition of the book “Hand On the Heart – Disease Education” by Arne Lykke Viborg and Annette Walsøe Torup. When purchasing the book, a code for an in-book version of the book is also acquired, which provides good opportunities to read while on the go. The i-book includes a digital version of the entire book, notebook for own notes, the ability to cross out text and search function. The books can be purchased from   www.saxo.dk, but you can search the web for a bit, for example. 2nd edition can be found used. If you only want to acquire the i-book, this can be purchased here.
