At UAX Mare Nostrum, you will be taught using an innovative teaching methodology based on practical and experiential learning from the very first year.
This approach combines scientific principles, clinical skills and professional values, preparing you for all nursing specialisms.
At UAX Mare Nostrum, you will learn to think and make decisions like a nursing professional right from the start of your training. Our model places clinical reasoning at the heart of the learning process, using real clinical cases and situations to develop your ability to analyse, prioritise care and make informed decisions.
The methodology follows a progressive sequence of learning:
Learn → Apply → Practise → Simulate → Care → Reflect → Improve
Through clinical simulation and work with complex scenarios, you will not only practise procedures and technical skills, but also decision-making, communication and teamwork. After each activity, you will take part in debriefing sessions and structured reflection, a vital tool for consolidating what you have learnt, identifying areas for improvement and reinforcing clinical safety before coming into contact with real patients.
