New e-learning course on ECG to enhance the skills of newly qualified doctors
Professor Mathis Korseberg Stokke and Professor Emeritus Knut Gjesdal have developed an e-learning course on ECG along with Michael Bjaanes, a retired nurse and illustrator.
This course has attracted international attention and is also being used in the USA.
Students and newly qualified doctors learn to interpret ECG based on their knowledge of anatomy and physiology. "At the Faculty we are committed to developing good e-learning resources such as this new ECG course. It is great that other universities at home and abroad are also benefitting from them," says Magnus Løberg, Dean of Studies.

Uniforum: Debate: Kunstig intelligens og konsekvensene for eksamensavvikling av Bjørn Stensaker, viserektor utdanning. UiO mener det ikke er hensiktsmessig å endre selve regelverket, men vil informere mer konkret om bruken av ChatGPT og tilsvarende verktøy i lys av dagens eksamensreglement.
