Training objectives

------------------------------------------------------------
Modulo: 000498 - IGIENE
------------------------------------------------------------
HYGIENE
The didactic purpose of the course is the achievement of the basis for the knowledge of the main risks for health. The prevention of chronic illness and association with the life stile. To do planning about health education. Prevention and control of occupational and environmental risk for health

------------------------------------------------------------
Modulo: 006051 - RADIOPROTEZIONE
------------------------------------------------------------
RADIATION PHYSICS and EQUIPMENT
Capability of the evaluation of an analogue image quality by using its objective characterizing parameters and understanding of the possibilities offered by the digital image. Knowledge of the physical principles of the usual methods used in morphologic and functional investigations for health purposes by external energy fields and of the nature of the physical quantities observed. Understanding of the radiobiological and clinical bases of the radiotherapy and of the procedures to implement them.
MEDICAL RADIATION PROTECTION
To revive and deepen basic knowledge in the field of radiobiology applied to health professions sciences. Moreover to introduce basic principles of radiation protection that can be divided into occupational radiation protection, which is the protection of workers; medical radiation protection, which is the protection of patients; and public radiation protection, which is protection of individual members of the public and of the population as a whole. The types of exposure, as well as government regulations and legal exposure limits are different for each of these groups and are discussed separately during the course.
SAFETY IN THE WORKPLACE
Knowledge of fundamental principles of risk prevention in the workplace concentrating on risks of health workers: biological, ergonomic and psycho-social hazards and risks.
Knowledge and application of the individual and general preventive strategies.
GENERAL PATHOLOGY
Understanding the main causes and mechanisms of disease, and the protective and/or pathogenetic role of the defense mechanisms of the organism (immune system, inflammation)

Learning assessment procedures

RADIOPROTECTION
The exam will be held by means of a multiple choice test, with an allocated time of 45 minutes. The questions will be 32, with four answers proposed, of wich only one is exact. The evaluation criteria are: plus 1 point (+1) for each single correct answer; minus half point (-0,5) for each single wrong answer; no point (0) for each single missing answer.
A final score of "31" points or more implies the evaluation "cum laude". These evaluation criteria are reported in the test sheet along with the compilation instructions.
HYGIENE
Written examination: multiple choice quiz with 16 questions. Correct answer: 2 points, wrong answer -1 point, no answer: 0 points. If all the correct answers = 30 and praise. Duration 30 minutes.
OCCUPATIONAL MEDICINE
Multiple choice quizzes: 16 questions with 4 possible responses (only one exact). Score: right response: 2 points; wrong response: -1; no response: 0 point. Exam lenght: 20 minutes.
THE FINAL GRADE IS A WEIGHTED AVERAGE OF THE MARKS OBTAINED IN EACH TESTS
