At the end of the course, students will acquire integrated knowledge and competencies in the fields of hygiene and public health, applied economics applied to healthcare systems, and forensic medicine, with particular reference to prevention, health promotion, and the management of healthcare services.
With regard to the area of General and Applied Hygiene, the educational objective is to provide the general principles of hygiene and applied epidemiology, with specific attention to the concept of health, the determinants of population health, and the levels of prevention. Students will acquire knowledge of epidemiological models of infectious diseases, modes of transmission of infections, the epidemiological chain, the main healthcare-associated infections, the phenomenon of antimicrobial resistance, and the fundamentals of vaccinology, while developing analytical and problem-solving skills in the contexts of infection prevention and control.
With regard to the area of Applied Economics, the course aims to provide basic knowledge of the dynamics governing the functioning of markets, with particular reference to the healthcare sector. Students will acquire conceptual tools to understand the demand and supply of healthcare services, the main market failures, the relationships between economy, development, and health, and the functioning of welfare and healthcare systems from a comparative perspective. Particular attention will be devoted to economic evaluation methodologies for health policies and programmes, such as cost-effectiveness and cost–benefit analysis, as well as to issues related to risk management and healthcare economic policies.
With reference to Forensic Medicine, the objective is to provide basic knowledge in the field of forensic pathology and legal medicine, with particular attention to the civil, criminal, and deontological aspects of the healthcare profession. Students will acquire fundamental notions of thanatology, forensic traumatology, and asphyxiology, as well as competencies related to professional duties, informed consent, professional confidentiality, and professional liability, developing an appropriate awareness of the ethical and legal framework within which healthcare professionals operate.
The achievement of the learning objectives will be ensured through lectures, seminars, and other teaching activities aimed at fostering critical learning and the application of acquired knowledge to real and professional contexts.
