Epidemiological Methodology
Epidemiology, clinical medicine, and public health. Approach and evolution of epidemiology. Etiological and evaluative epidemiology. Epidemics in ancient times and the modern era. Methods for studying and containing epidemic outbreaks. Measures of disease frequency. Concept of risk. Measures of effect. Impact measures. Causality in epidemiology. Random and systematic errors. Confounding and interaction. Classification of epidemiological studies. Characteristics, conduct, analytical methods, and critical evaluation of main analytical and descriptive studies. Evaluation of diagnostic tests.

Epidemiology and Prevention of Infectious Diseases
Health protection and promotion. Determinants of health and disease. Evidence-based prevention and levels of prevention. Prevention professionals, structures of the National Health Service (SSN), and operational tools. Host-parasite relationships, sources and reservoirs of infection, routes of pathogen entry and release, modes of transmission. Notification, quarantine measures, diagnostic confirmation. Sterilization, disinfection, pest control. Vaccinoprophylaxis, types of vaccines, vaccination schedules for newborns and adults (worker categories, international travelers). Passive immunoprophylaxis, chemoprophylaxis. Epidemiology and prevention of airborne, parenteral, sexual, fecal-oral, vertical transmission, vector-borne diseases, and zoonoses. Epidemiology and prevention of Healthcare-Associated Infections (HAIs), with notes on hospital hygiene.

Epidemiology and Prevention of Chronic Degenerative Diseases and Addictions
Prevention methodologies for chronic degenerative diseases (atherosclerosis and ischemic coronary heart disease, malignant tumors, most common degenerative and metabolic diseases, alcoholism, major and minor drug addictions, and smoking) and screening tests. Screening campaigns. Systematic reviews and meta-analyses.

Environment and Health
Risk factors related to environmental pollution. Air and atmospheric pollution: origin, types, epidemiological significance, prevention methods. Health and ecological effects caused by pollution, health risk assessment, environmental and biological monitoring of pollutant exposure. Confined environments: microclimate, indoor pollution, noise, and vibrations. Water: needs, supply, pollution possibilities, potability criteria, correction of adverse characteristics. Wastewater and solid waste: removal and disposal. Main relevant regulations.

Food Hygiene
Food as a vehicle for physical, chemical, biological, and microbiological hazards: risk of foodborne diseases. Ecological parameters for microorganism survival and growth, preservation methods, microbiological and physicochemical food control methods: adulterations, sophistication, counterfeiting, food additives. Main relevant regulations.

Health Education
One-way and two-way communication of health-related informational and educational messages. Health education as a tool for health promotion. Methodologies for planning and implementing health education interventions. Health education interventions in the general population, communities, healthcare facilities, schools, and workplaces.


Module: IX OCCUPATIONAL MEDICINE
Community Medicine
Identification of the relationships between need, demand, and supply.
Health and social care interventions for chronic-degenerative diseases, disabilities, and terminal illnesses.
Identification of the demand and supply of services for the comprehensive protection of the health of families and communities.
Development of unified and integrated care plans.
Activation of the participation of individuals, families, and communities in health protection.
Evaluation of the effectiveness of interventions in primary care: application of evidence-based medicine (EBM) guidelines.
Evaluation of the outcomes and results of healthcare assistance.
Identification of methodologies for hospital-community integration and for the rational use of the network of district services.
Contribution of general practitioners and freely chosen pediatricians to prevention activities in the community.

Occupational Medicine
General concepts of Occupational Medicine: evolution, purposes, general principles, and objectives of Occupational Medicine.
Workplace Health Promotion (WHP): bringing health promotion into the workplace.
Principles of industrial toxicology and occupational hygiene.
The approach to workers in health surveillance: occupational history.
Relationship between work and health: accidents, occupational and work-related diseases.
Relevant Italian and European regulations regarding workers' health and safety.
Main diseases related to occupational exposure to physical, chemical, biological, and transversal agents.
Risks and diseases typical of healthcare professions.
Occupational carcinogenesis.
Stress and burnout in the workplace.
Women and occupational health.

Current Issues
Risk factors, epidemiology, and prevention of domestic, road, and workplace accidents.
Public health aspects in natural disasters, industrial accidents, and bioterrorism.
