- Prerequisites
- Common level of high school knowledge in physics
- Course Enrolment Limitations
- The course is only offered to the students of the study fields the course is directly associated with.
- fields of study / plans the course is directly associated with
- General Medicine (programme LF, M-GM)
- General Medicine (eng.) (programme LF, M-VL)
- Course objectives
- At the end of the course students will understand and explain biophysical principles and laws; understand biophysical principles of the main devices; evaluate data obtained by the basic biophysical methods with respect to the scientific, effective, safe and efficient attitude to their use; understand possible usage of the biophysical techniques and medical devices in practice; explain basic principles of the so-called physiological biophysics and (in certain extent) the theory and methods of molecular biophysics.
- Learning outcomes
- After finishing the course students will:
- understand and explain biophysical principles and laws important for medicine;
- understand biophysical principles of the main medical devices; understand possible usage of biophysical techniques and medical devices in common practice;
- explain basic principles of the so-called physiological biophysics and basic ideas the theory and methods of molecular biophysics. - Syllabus

- Teaching methods
- lectures
- Assessment methods
- The exam has theoretical character but can be taken only with the credits gained for practicals. The exam consists of written test consisting of 25 questions and oral part, which can be sit only when the number of correctly answered test questions is 14 or more. This limit is lowered to 11 in the last exam resit. The oral part consists of 2 questions as a rule. They are chosen from the list which is available in the department web page. The examined student has to be able to explain the problems and characterise their possible clinical importance.
- Language of instruction
- English
- Further comments (probably available only in Czech)
- Study Materials
The course can also be completed outside the examination period.
The course is taught annually.
