ICTs use since an interdisciplinary approach for support the training on ophidism a public health problem

Abstract

The present research and development work focuses on ophidism or ophidic accidentthat is a forgotten public health problem, which is normally focused on antiophidic serumapplication. Complications are sometimes caused by the patients; delay to go to amedical centre and the health professionals lacking knowledge of the ophidismtreatment. In this work, we design under canvas model a Massive Open Online Course(MOOC) on introduction to ophidic accident giving a new accessible, massive anddynamic training strategy. It is nourished by the students’ contribution; unlike traditionaltraining programmes. For this reason, it is intended to promote other forms of training onprevention and knowledge of the ophidic accident, which are priority activities in theColombian territory. To end, we highlight that there exist a considerable number ofunderestimated cases due to the inadequate registration of the notification forms.
