Syllabus
  • The final state examination in preventive disciplines
  • Preventive Medicine and Epidemiology of Infectious Diseases - the syllabus.

  • CONTENTS OF THE EXAMINATION

  • The final state examination should confirm the student`s ability to perform properly preventive activities in his or her future position of a family practitioner, a general physician or an attending physician in a hospital.

  • The students should demonstrate

  • a) the knowledge of connections between living conditions (life-style, environment, working conditions) and health

  • b) the basic knowledge of epidemiology (understanding the epidemiological literature, the ability to plan simple surveys and to outline preventive or epidemiological precautions based on those surveys)

  • c) the ability of a practical approach to methodological, organization and economical issues in prevention

  • d) the knowledge of etiology and risk factors of epidemic diseases (both infectious and non-infectious)

  • e) the ability to perform health education in a proper way, especially in the area of nutrition and drug dependence (including alcohol and tobacco addiction)

  • f) the knowledge of health protection specificities in some specific population groups (women, children, the elderly population, employees working in hazardous workplaces)

  • g) the knowledge of environmental problems on a level which may be considered appropriate for a university graduate.

  • FORM OF THE EXAMINATION

  • The student will be asked two complex questions concerning preventive medicine and epidemiology, the first one being theoretical and the second one being practical (working out a model problem). These questions will involve approaches to the prevention of both infectious and non-infectious diseases.

  • Colloquium in preventive medicine

  • The students should pass the colloquium in the form of a test after finishing the practical course. The colloquium will be held on several occasions during the semester and during the examination period. The dates will be announced. The students will be tested in groups. Please, register for the test at the institute secretary.

  • If the student does not pass the test, he or she will have to pass the colloquium in a verbal form.

  • Required knowledge

  • The aim of the colloquium is to confirm the knowledge of facts which have been presented in the practical course during the both semesters, including the theoretical bases of each topic. To make these requirements understood unambiguously, we decided to include a list of articles which the students should learn for the test.
