Medical Care - Refresher

This refresher seminar is suitable for ship's officers who are assigned to medical care on board.

You will be enabled to initiate effective measures in the event of accidents and illness and to safeguard health care on board. For medical refresher seminars, we distinguish between the full seminar and the short seminar. At present, we do not offer the short seminar.
