• This platform is a space designed to help you think, act, and grow like an anaesthesiologist.

    The COLAFA Moodle complements, rather than replaces, your personal study and clinical experience and is here to organize, connect, and deepen what you learn and to help you make sense of experience , not just accumulate information.

    Textbooks, journal articles, discussions with mentors, and real patient encounters remain your primary sources of growth.

    Here, we don’t just show you “What to do” but also show you “Why experts do it that way”

    Each course is built around Entrustable Professional Activities (EPAs), the real tasks you’re expected to master in practice.

    But to help you progress safely and confidently, we focus on something deeper, the Keys of Comprehension, five lenses that unlock expert performance.

    The Keys of Comprehension

    Each key represents a way experts make sense of what they do:

    • The Conceptual key: Understand the big ideas behind the EPA.
    • The Cognitive key: Learn how experts reason, anticipate, and decide.
    • The Practical key: Discover the "rules of thumb" that guide daily action.
    • The Relational key: See how your actions fit within the team and system.
    • The Metacognitive key: Reflect on your own limits, errors, and growth.

    Together, these keys help you make sense before you make moves, to think like an expert before acting like one.

    Entrustable Professional Activities (EPAs)

    Our program is structured around Entrustable Professional Activities (EPAs), the real, observable tasks that define what it means to act as an anaesthesiologist. They form the bridge between classroom learning and independent clinical practice.

    The Learning Journey

    Every EPA course follows the same rhythm, six sections that mirror how expertise develops in real life:

    Comprehend → Observe → Apply → Reflect → Demonstrate → Progress

    You’ll start by exploring the concepts, then watch experts at work, practice with guidance, reflect on what you learned, demonstrate your competence, and finally plan your next step.

    This cycle builds both competence and confidence, step by step.

    Why It Matters

    Our goal is simple : to make learning contextual, reflective, and rewarding.

    By combining conceptual understanding with practical experience, the COLAFA Moodle helps you grow from doing tasks to thinking like a professional.

    Welcome aboard, and remember:

    Every expert was once a learner who stopped memorizing and started understanding.
