About the Course

This course imparts a wide range of basic knowledge and skills in the field of trauma surgical and orthopedic treatment of patients. To facilitate this, the course employs a new concept of information transfer. We follow a scientific approach and a sophisticated combination of modern teaching methods to vividly impart the taught contents. This included case-based learning, comprehensive factual knowledge, and consecutive quizzes, which help to better memorize the learned contents and later employ them in everyday situations in the field of trauma surgery. The course participants are introduced to the multi-faceted field of the treatment of trauma patients. Different trauma mechanism and their sequelae are elucidated, as well as the respective gold standard of medical treatment of these injuries by means of modern trauma surgery. All episodes – of which each one is dedicated to a distinct pathology – follow the same approach: • Introduction and/or repetition of the anatomic principles • Prelude of the topic by means of a film • Classification of the treated wound, e.g. according to AO • Summary of relevant and current therapeutic options • Each episode is interspersed with short quizzes to immediately recapitulate the learned contents and which will help solving the exam quizzes The course was compiled by an interdisciplinary team of internationally renowned experts from the special field of orthopedic surgery from Germany. Depending on the respective consultant’s specialization, suitable case scenarios from our clinic are presented. Dieser Kurs ist auch in deutscher Sprache verfügbar.

The description of the course states that it is delivered in English with German subtitles.... it is literally the exact opposite. There's no way I would have paid for this course if it was clearly stated that there is not one single sentence of spoken English. Content, sure that was fine, but come on....

In the description of the course, it is said that english audio is an option. But it is not. The only option is with german audio and english subtitles

overall very good but as an English speaker with little German ability would prefer if all the important slides were also in English

Tons of information. English subtitles sometimes don't synchronize with spoken German. But, a useful course that is very well produced.

No stars. This description needs to say that it is in German with English subtitles that are difficult to follow. I do not understand why Coursera does not have their own English version of this or something similar. Technically misleading for anyone who is paying for this!

I just want to know how I Un enroll.

The course is very concise and very informative which describe in detail of the treatments approaches within the field of trauma surgery. Assignments and quizes helps in understanding the course and relatively quite challenging. I recommend taking this course if you are interested in trauma surgery and it helps if you have a bit of medical background in understanding the whole course since it is of an intermediate level. The whole course is actually in German, not English, but I understood the course perfectly eventhough I am not a native German speaker.

It was an amazing course, all the videos where great. The only thing I didn't liked much is that almost every video has an issue with the timing of the subtitles, so i became really hard to concentrate either on the slides and the voice explanation (i don't know enough german) or on the subtitles to get to a complete understanding of what is going on. I had to stop evey 2 minutes to translate the slide. This made the learning process a lot slower and I wasn't able to enjoy all the acted situations.

Well explained course, however the subtitles didn't match with the voice. I am willing to help out in that. Using text to speech , I will be able to dub it. As a reward I would like to gain aaccess to other amazing courses like this.

Even if not I really loved the course, teachers like you are the reason for med students like us to want to work hard through medicine.

Thank you! And well done!

Was a great experience of knowledge and learning a lot, but it is necessary to correct the subtitles, because it is something difficult to understand all the concepts. Of course you will need to check the info with another sources, but wpuld be amazing to have a look in the tools of the same course. By the way, great way to learn and get inside the trauma world. THANKS A LOT

Es gibt gute Präsentationen und Videos. Besonders das Thema ATLS wird sehr gut behandelt. Die Videos zu Knochenbrüchen und Fixierung waren sehr erfolgreich.

Excellent course! the fact that is based on clinical cases makes it easier to understand and withhold the topics.
