Medical Scientific Methods IX -Public Health
Main teaching objectives:
Fundamental basis of epidemiology, health promotion and prevention of communicable and non-communicable diseases applied to environment, communities, working conditions, schools, food and nutrition; methods of health educations in both clinical and preventive medicine; relations between health promotion activities and national health service.
To behave professionally and according to the prevention principles in both living and working conditions.
To use the knowledge acquired in the field of risk evaluation/management in both living and working conditions in order to diseases preventing and health promoting; to use the knowledge acquired in the field of National Health System organization in order to get the health goals.

Medical Scientific Methods X - Public Health
Main teaching objectives:
The course is focused on the interdisciplinary competencies needed by physicians, ranging from economic and managerial skills to epidemiological methods to assess scientific evidence about the efficacy, safety and cost-effectiveness of healthcare interventions.
By the end of the course, the student must:
- know the basic types of healthcare systems in the world, with their main strengths and weaknesses; the financing mechanisms of healthcare both at macro-level (healthcare systems) and micro-level (hospital and other healthcare organizations); the main tools of management control in the healthcare organizations; the methods used to evaluate the efficacy, the effectiveness and the efficiency of healthcare interventions;
- be able to read critically and use published epidemiological studies, systematic reviews and meta-analysis, as well as economic evaluations of healthcare interventions; know how to use basics of management control in the healthcare organizations;
- develop a professional attitude to adopt professional behaviors in accordance with the principles of equity, effectiveness and efficiency and objectives to the national, regional and local healthcare planning; develop a critical thinking in terms of global health, taking into account that many health problems spill over national boundaries.
