Kidney transplantation is a major advance of modern medicine which provides high-quality of life for patients with end-stage renal disease. What used to be an experimental, risky, and very limited treatment option more than 50 years ago is now routinely performed in many countries worldwide. The number of renal transplants is expected to rise sharply in the next decade since the proportion of patients with end stage renal disease is increasing. Are you interested in clinical kidney, pancreas and islet transplantation? If you are a (bio) medical student or a health care professional who works in the (pre) clinical transplant field this might be the course for you. This course is also for anyone interested in the research and knowledge on clinical transplantation. The course will be taught by a multidisciplinary team of transplant professionals and will give you the state of the art updates. It is divided in 4 modules: 1) Before the transplant 2) The surgical procedures and the challenged patient, including the patient with diabetes 3) Early challenges 4) Late challenges after transplantation. The offered modules will include lectures, interactive patient cases, 3D movies, interviews with well-known experts and with patients and a donor, a serious game to increase knowledge of the field and of course an active forum. Become an expert and join us! The course has been endorsed by The European Society of Organ Transplantation (ESOT), The International Society of Nephrology (ISN) and The Transplantation Society (TTS). This MOOC has been accredited for Continuing Medical Education (CME). Health care professionals who works in the (pre) clinical transplant field, other health care professionals and general practitioners can obtain CME credit at 'LUMC-Boerhaave CME' upon passing the course. For more information we like to refer to the "Additional introduction for obtaining CME credit" module in week 1 of the course For another interesting course on organ donation and transplantation, see Organ Donation: From Death to Life from Cape Town University https://www.coursera.org/learn/organ-donation

Very nice Medical Course..Must be done by individuals
Showing: 20 of 92
Sometimes hard to understand the speakers.
The medical knowledge is also assumed to be relatively high, with no references to some of the terminology and background reading material that can bring one up to speed.
A very well designed and delivered course. I found it very useful, very well structured and the content was relevant and in the right amount of detail. Excellent course.
Learnt a lot, would like to get more advanced information on same topic
The course benefits from the excellent quality of the lectures by superb staff of the LUMC. The videos and images were of high quality and irrefutably aided in the understanding of the difficult field of transplantation immunology. I highly recommend following this course. The pace was just right and because the user can decide on his/her own planning, it can easily be combined with other activities. The tests were of varying difficulty, the final test clearly being much more difficult than the other tests combined.
very educative and engaging, I was able to learn a lot from this lecture organized by university of leiden, I was able to top up more information that were not covered by the course offered by university of cape town.
Thank you very much for organizing such an educative lecture, and letting meet established professors some from Oxford that i would have not seen were it not for this lecture.
Great teaching and concise information.
This is a very relevant and elaborate training course for everyone interested to work in the field of transplantation, especially Kidney Tx and Pankreas Tx.
I attended the course as a pharma employee to prepare for a project in this indication and I think it was very helpful for me to get an overview.
Very well structured, gives basic knowledge and additional assignments to explore the subject. To go into details time schedule is sometimes a limit but possibility to continue in next section and finish the course can be a solution. Discussion forums and practical examples helped a lot.
I really enjoyed this course.
It was definitely an insight on the Transplant procedures and complications that are involved during every step of the whole surgical process. A detailed explanation given by the medical team of Leiden University for Online Education truly makes a difference.
I had fun doing this course. It started with the basics and built further on that. It was also clear that the lecturers have a deep interest and knowledge about their subject by the way it was told. Discussion forums and practical examples helped a lot.
Extensive course with all the aspects of kidney and pancreas transplantation explained. Additionally, a honours track is available with extra information, which can be useful for people that already have some background in transplant medicine
A VERY HELPFUL COURSE, IT CONTAINS BASICS ABOUT PANCREAS KIDNEY ALLOTRANSPLANTATION, AND ADVANCED AND UPDATES AS WELL. IT TAKES ME TO ANOTHER HIGH LEVEL OF KNOWLEDGE IN THIS FIELD. THANK YOU VERY MUCH: MOH SAUDI ARABIA, FUTURX , AND COURSERA.
course was outlined very well. Got a good idea of everything that comes along with a kidney and or pancreas Transplantation after this course. Appreciated the clinical and the current treatment(s) part most as I have a science background.
Very helpful! Lectures were very clear, and tests helped to give feedback on which parts of knowledge needed to be improved. One tip: no more games. They take a lot of time and don't contribute to extending knowledge.
Uno de los mejores cursos que he tomado, las explicaciones excelentes, los profesionales dominan el contenido, la información es basada en evidencia y es muy interactivo, ademas, los vídeos son buenos y en 3D.
I joined the course to improve my knowledge about kidney , pancreas and islet cell transplantation. Being a surgery resident. i am impressed with the depth of material provided. iw oud recommentd this course
I really enjoyed the course a lot, I learned a lot, both from the explanations and from the comments of the colleagues, and I had more questions, which is good, to continue investigating.
Thanks a lot.
Wonderful course. Great instruction on very interesting topics. Videos support learning and a good amount of information every week. Thanks for the organization and delivery of this course.
THE BEST COURSE I have taken in COURSERA
GREAT LECTURERS , BEST VIDEOS, AND VERY ORGANIZED
3D movies are really fantastic
Hope to join in future sessions to get better scores
It was a helpful course, with very good animations and great explanations. I would very much like to benefit from an advanced course on the same topic. Thank you all!
Very useful for all the users, who are not still working in the transplantation field: for those people this course is perhaps too superficial.
