Following the success of the first School of Nursing led massive open online course (MOOC) Human Anatomy for Stroke (ANA101x), the HKPolyUx offers a new edX’s Professional Certificate in Introduction to Stroke Care to give learners an opportunity to gain essential knowledge and skills required for the stroke recovery process from an interdisciplinary perspective. Learners can earn a professional certificate by completing the two courses of this programme.
Considering the possibility of prolonged shut down of health care facilities due to COVID-19 pandemics, this programme includes skills for stroke caregivers and information that may stimulate ideas on how stroke patients can continue with home rehabilitations.
Endorsed by the Hong Kong Stroke Society and the Hong Kong Society for Rehabilitation, the second course of this Professional Certificate Science of Stroke Recovery (Stroke201x) introduces the journey of stroke recovery process and its underlying scientific rationales for achieving optimal rehabilitation outcomes. It focuses on evidence-based interventions delivered by different healthcare disciplines.
Among the long list of our international renowned speakers and collaborators from other PolyU departments and local institutions/organisations, are Dr John Yuen, Associate Professor, who has led the development of this Professional Certificate programme, and Dr Kitty Chan, Senior Teaching Fellow, who co-created the content for the course.
