RADIOPROTECTION
At the end of the course the student will be able to understand radiation, the laws that govern it, the radiological risk and the radiation protection procedures to be implemented.

SAFETY IN THE WORKPLACE
At the end of the course, students will have acquired knowledge of the regulations, with reference to the main risk factors in workplaces and their possible effects on health and safety.

LEGAL MEDICINE
Upon fulfilling the legal medicine course, students will have acquired a solid grounding as to the basics of professional penal, civil and administrative liability, the main crimes about which forensic doctors are called upon to provide their insight and those in which nurses may get involved while discharging their professional duties.
Upon the course’s completion, students will have gained the capabilities to properly identify the circumstances that could result in civil, criminal or administrative liability in exercising their professional functions.
In order to develop the students’ critical capabilities, different interpretations of regulatory norms are highlighted, which are commonly expounded upon in legal medicine courses.
Students are urged to ask questions, air their opinions and doubts for the purpose of developing critical thinking skills. That process goes a long way towards exposing possible misunderstandings that, if left unaddressed, could give rise to wrong answers during exam sessions.
In order to enable students to independently go on with their studies, professors point out interpretation methods for regulatory statutes and norms. In so doing, students will have the wherewithal to delve into law bills or sets of regulations in an autonomous fashion and fully understand their meanings. Furthermore, professors will point to an array of websites upon which students may draw for updates and learning support.
