Presentation

The Master in Medical-Surgical Nursing results from a consortium established with the Escola Superior de Saúde de Santa Maria – Porto. It is based on the educational projects of ESESJCluny and ESSSM, ensuring a humanist character, where respect and dignity of all stakeholders prevail.
Thus, ESESJCluny and ESSSM undertake to provide CMEMC trainee nurses with the necessary conditions for the full development of their potential, in the sense of acquiring and developing common and specialized skills in Medical-Surgical Nursing, thus allowing them to provide highly differentiated nursing care to people in critical, palliative or perioperative situations.

The Study Plan was conceived in order to allow the development and consolidation of the skills required for the management and provision of specialized nursing care, targeting the person in a critical situation, the person in a palliative situation and the person in a perioperative situation. It took into account the guidelines of the Bologna Process, foreseeing the use of methodologies and strategies that encourage trainees to have a significant involvement and responsibility in the teaching-learning processes, stimulating self-training.

The Master's Course in Medical-Surgical Nursing foresees the existence of a common trunk corresponding to 12 ECTS, then subdivided into three areas with 78 ECTS, each totaling 90 ECTS, corresponding to 2430 hours. The Course also includes two components, one theoretical and the other clinical, whose ECTS and respective workloads are summarized in Table I.
