Methodology, software & labs

How you'll learn

100% online training on the SEIUM campus, with downloadable material, recorded classes and an assigned technical tutor. There are no fixed timetables: you progress at your own pace within the intake, so you can combine it with your job.

Each module combines theory, guided reading of the original standard and applied exercises. The working software is SimPy, Power BI, QGIS, OpenMRS and AnyLogic, in free, academic or evaluation versions. Real procedures are studied, such as patient flow simulation, medical evacuation planning and mass casualty exercises. Assessment is continuous by module, plus the final Master's Thesis.

Standards covered: Geneva Conventions, Regulation (EU) 2017/745 (MDR), IEC 60601-1, HL7 FHIR R4, DICOM, Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (GDPR), AJP-4.10.

Assigned technical tutor:every module ends with a deliverable that your tutor marks individually.
Standards-based learning:guided reading of the Geneva Conventions, Regulation (EU) 2017/745 (MDR) and IEC 60601-1 applied to real cases, not as a theoretical annex.
Industry software:SimPy, Power BI, QGIS, OpenMRS and AnyLogic, in free, academic or evaluation versions.
Master's Thesis with defence:An integrated medical support plan for a scenario, covering logistics, evacuation and telemedicine, evaluated through simulation, defended before a panel.
Flexible format:100% online, no fixed timetables, compatible with full-time work.
