Skrócony opis: (tylko po angielsku)

The aim of this subject is to acquaint students with the principles underlying preventive activities of health care service, health status evaluation and monitoring in an individual and a population, and with options for using epidemiological data for evaluation and planning of medical services. Presentations for students will concern issues related to the operational strategy in the public health area, health care systems and the principal problems of public health in Poland and globally. Students will find out about epidemiology of non-contagious or contagious diseases, preventive vaccination, environmental epidemiology, occupational medicine, occupational health, and rules for notifying, diagnosing, recording and acknowledging occupational diseases.

Classes will be used to develop skills in recognising a state of health risk and in interpreting demographic and epidemiological data, and test results for environmental factors.
