How the courses work

1

Pre-test

A short baseline test shows you which modules to prioritise. It is not graded.

2

Narrated micro lessons

Five to ten minutes each, one idea per screen, with a recorded narrator who adds context rather than reading the screen.

3

Practice and cases

Branching scenarios set in Ethiopian hospitals, with immediate feedback and the reasoning behind every answer.

4

Post-test and certificate

Pass at 80 percent, complete every module, and download a certificate that anyone can verify online.

Credit and recognition

Continuing education units follow the national CPD Guideline, one CEU for each hour of accredited learning with at most 15 from a single activity, as the Ministry of Health Digital Learning Guide for CPD Programs (June 2025) requires. Each certificate states the course's CEU value and a verification number. Facilitated cohorts add one 90 minute workshop per module and carry the blended value shown on each course.

Offered by ERAS Africa with the Ethiopian Association of Anesthetists. Content aligned with ERAS Society guidelines (2025), the WHO Surgical Safety Checklist, the WHO Framework for Action on Interprofessional Education and Collaborative Practice, HQIP audit standards and GRADE.
