Course Overview
The Introduction to Stewart’s Model of Physiological Acid-Base Chemistry
program by edX imparts clinical acid-base chemistry which is a basic part of education in the field of medical professionals and this chemistry form is very important for conducting many patients in an emergency unit. Conventional attitude towards this topic made a utility by shortening reasoning which will initiate a number of equivocation and descriptive insufficiency.
The candidate will be able to gain an understanding of Stewart's model of clinical acid-base chemistry and how it uses a conventional compound balance proposal which may ease a clearer understanding of this process and a number of clinical examples are provided which will help the candidate for instance and the disparity with the additional conventional teaching of the subject.
The duration of the course is 5 weeks and it is a self-paced course free of cost, but candidates who wish to have institutional certificates will have to upgrade the course. The video transcript will be in English and candidates can access the course according to their time.
