Introduction
Knowledge of basic human needs, anatomy, physiology and motor skill development is crucial to health professionals. This course also covers cytology, microbiology, genetics and neuroanatomy.
Social educators need basic skills in observing and talking to children and young people to understand their life and how work with children can be carried out in interprofessional person- and family-centred care. This topic is highlighted in the interdisciplinary teaching activity INTER1100 The Same Child - Different Arenas, scope corresponding to 1.5 credits. INTER1100 addresses the learning outcomes marked with an asterisk (*) and written in italics.
The course is taught over a total of seven weeks, including Interact.
