Course objectives
At the end of this course the student will be able to understand and explain the theoretical basis of almost all the basic, most commonly used modern therapeutic and diagnostic medical methods and devices, as well as the devices and equipment currently used in the field of paramedics. The main objective of this course is also to familiarize students with the most important biophysical principles applied to living systems. At the same time, the course will also focus on developing a scientific, effective, safe, and effective student approach to using biomedical technologies and describing the possibility of applying physical laws to living systems.
Learning outcomes
Although this is a non-medical field, the graduates of biophysics seminars will be able to understand and explain the theoretical basis of almost all the basic, most commonly used modern therapeutic and diagnostic medical methods and devices, as well as devices and equipment currently used in paramedics.
