Prerequisites
It will be possible to attend the master's degree course in "Organizational and training planning applied to priority problems of nursing / midwifery" at second years, after having attended the courses of Qualitative Applied Nursing Research and Quantitative Applied Nursing Research, during the first year of the course. A beginner section of the course program is dedicated to structure a conceptual and language base aimed to standardize basic knowledge.
Learning outcomes
The course "Project Management in Organizational and Educational priorities of nursing/midwifery care" promotes students' critical thinking on clinical, educational, and research projects. This course offers practical experiences for using specific tools and methods of Project Management (PM). Reaching these educational goals is pivotal due to enabling students to ensure that the project's scientific rigor works in the setting of public health.
Specifically, at the end of the course, the student will be able to:
- Define the theoretical principles of Project Management applied to the organizational and training contexts
- Perform context analysis and defining a research problem
- Use the project tools (e.g., WBS, Ishikawa diagram, etc.)
- Define and evaluate project evaluation objectives and quality indicators
- Develop and consider communication aspects within the project activities
Course contents
Definition of the project and hints of project management
The design methodology: from concept to project evaluation
The project document
Teaching methods
The course offers both theoretical and practical lessons. The first lessons address the students' educational need for consolidating the main theoretical principles of Project Management (e.g., Portafolio Management, Programme management, Project leadership, etc). On the other hand, the second part of the course provides practical exercises through working group activities guided by the course providers (e.g. identify and perform stakeholder analysis, develop a WBS and create a project charter, etc).

Assessment methods
 GROUP EXCERCICES: this modality is an interim evaluation only for educational purpose; thus, it is not subject to evaluation. The working group will be performing a critical assessment of the project proposed by the providers upon PM's theoretical and methodological notions. The final work will be exposed through a PowerPoint presentation (minimum of five slides, maximum of 10 minutes for explanations).
 INDIVIDUAL PROPOSAL: Each student will make an individual proposal of the project analysed; maximum of 1.300 words, without bibliography. In this phase, the students should explain the expected role and competencies that nurses/midwifery may have in each project management phase (i.e., identification, planning, execution, monitoring, closing). The final score was out of 30.
