Campus Numérique Hygeniosia - Formation à distance en hygi�ne et stérilisation - Formation � Bonnes Pratiques de Stérilisation Hospitalière �
Le Dipl�me Inter-universitaire de st�rilisation (universit� de Lyon et de Grenoble) est enseign� en ligne d'octobre � mai. La session pr�sentielle en Mai permet d'animer des tables-rondes sur les sujets trait�s en ligne. Les �tudiants disposent d'une plate-forme de e-learning qui leur permet de travailler � distance.
Les personnels des services de st�rilisation disposent d'un programme "Bonnes pratiques de st�rilisation" La formation à distance dure plusieurs mois � raison d'une s�ance de deux heures tous les 15 jours. Cela permet aux personnels de se former sur les lieux m�mes de travail.
Les �coles d'infirmi�res de bloc ont aussi leur programme en formation initiale. L'�cole d'IBODES qui ont recours � ce dispositif en ligne offrent � leurs �l�ves de travailler � leur rythme en se connectant � la plate-forme y compris pendant la p�riode des stages hospitaliers o� elles peuvent faire le lien entre l'enseignement et la pratique. L'examen est organis�, au sein m�me de l�Ecole, sous surveillance, dans une salle �quip�e d'ordinateurs connect�s o� les �l�ves r�pondent � un questionnaire en ligne.
