Course objectives (in Czech)
Biofyzika jako interdisciplinární obor využívá metodologie exaktních věd, jako je fyzika a matematika, a je tím přímo předurčena k vytváření a rozvíjení takových návyků, jako je přesnost, důslednost, logický úsudek a rychlé rozhodování,návyků,které jsou potřebné pro každého pracovníka ve zdravotnictvi.
