Is this included in my organisation's licence?

Yes. An organisation's licence includes every track, core and branch, with the Platform, Medical City, Essentia, the App and the dashboard. Your organisation enrols you on the track, and it appears under My track; there is nothing extra to buy.

Can I take it on my own?

Yes, as a Complete track for $299 one-time, or as the Full family with its 6 Deep Dives for $799 ($1,193 bought one by one). One payment opens it for 12 months under My track: the track's lessons, labs, Medical City scenarios, the certificate and the track mentor (100 questions per track, more with credit top-ups). General Essentia, the Studios and Design are not included. Where a week asks for your organisation's own documents, you work from BMEssentia's sample hospital documents instead, and observed sign-offs become self-assessed with evidence.

Which level should I choose?

Easy, Medium or Hard. A short baseline check on day one places you, or you can choose. Easy starts with worked examples and the simulation coach; Hard is independent, interleaved and timed. The same competencies are assessed at every level.

What do I get at the end?

The BMEssentia Certificate of Completion: Safe Device Use, naming the track and the level you completed, and a portfolio of the real work documents you made along the way.

How much time does it take?

10 short modules, about 1 hour a week.

Which languages is it in?

Essentia answers and explains in English, Arabic and Chinese. The course lessons and the Device Lab are in English, and every track page is also in Arabic.

Knows what every alarm means, checks the patient first and fixes the cause, not the alarm
Uses each device safely for the patient in front of them (cuffs, probes, interferences, lines)
Knows the stop-and-call-biomed triggers and keeps a device involved in harm as found
Cleans, stores and charges devices correctly
Is signed off by the ward educator on each device, with a renewal date

The story

Ward 4 (Acute Medicine), BMEssentia Medical City Hospital; each ward branch moves the story to its own unit.

Sandra OseiWard Manager and device champion · your mentor (a character in the track)

“Three habits stop most pump harm: drug from the library, never Basic mode for high-alert drugs; roller clamp closed before the door opens; and you trace the line before you restart after any occlusion.”

Inside the track

What you actually use, every week.

Proof

Only evidence counts.

A step is done when there is evidence: a simulation score, a saved work document, a passed check or a signed observation. Opening a page never ticks anything.

Before and afterThe same baseline check on day one and in the final week, scored per competency.
Mastery, not attendanceA competency below its threshold routes to its remediation items and a re-check; a device is only 'signed off' with the quiz passed and the observation signed.
The audit packYour weekly work documents and capstones, ready for a supervisor, an employer or an inspector.

The certificate

BMEssentia Certificate of Completion: Safe Device Use

It names the track and the level you completed. Your portfolio holds the work behind it.

Every assigned module completed with its quiz at or above the level's pass mark
Each assigned device signed off by the ward educator (institutions) or self-assessed with evidence (individuals, shown as such)
Final check at or above the pass mark
The certificate lists each device with its sign-off date and its renewal date (12 months)

The Ward Device Safety Walk

Walk every device on your ward with the ward's device list: readiness (pads, cuffs, probes, chargers), alarm defaults, cleaning, labels and sockets; report findings to the ward manager and clinical engineering.

Evidence it gives: A dated ward equipment readiness walk with actions: evidence of safe equipment use on the unit.

The Teach-Back: one device, one session, measured

Teach a ten-minute session on one device to colleagues using the module's quick card (Arabic and English where useful); measure their answers to three scenario questions before and after.

Evidence it gives: Peer education with measured outcomes: evidence of ongoing staff education on medical equipment.

One Week of Alarms: a device family on your ward

For one device family on your ward, log alarms and near misses for a week (with your manager's agreement), sort them by cause, and propose changes to defaults, consumables or practice.

Evidence it gives: Unit-level alarm review with actions (clinical alarm safety).

Three levels

Easy, Medium or Hard.

A baseline check on day one places you, or you choose. The competencies are the same at every level; the support and the pressure change.

Easy

Baseline under 50% · simulations at Foundation

Worked examples first, then guided practice. Simulations at Foundation difficulty with the coach on and marking as you go. Fewer cases per week (the extra and hard-only cases are hidden). Mastery thresholds 10 points lower.

Medium

Baseline 50% to 74% · simulations at Practitioner

Guided to independent: the standard track. Simulations at Practitioner difficulty, the coach hidden but available, the extra cases each week from the middle of the track, mastery thresholds as stated.

Hard

Baseline 75% and above · simulations at Expert

Independent and interleaved: every simulation at Expert difficulty, all extra and hard-only cases, stricter mastery thresholds (+5), and time pressure.
