GENERAL AND APPLIED HYGIENE
Main objectives include knowledge of the general principles of hygiene and public health, and of health promotion. These objectives, in turn, include knowledge of the specific ways of transmission of infections; the epidemiological chain; the main healthcare associate d infections; roles and characteristics of the epidemiological studies; data of the epidemiological studies on healthcare associated infections; the concepts of cleaning, sanitation, disinfection, antisepsis and sterilization; infection control measures in the community and healthcare settings especially in the imaging diagnostic facilities; the concepts of prophylaxis.
These objectives will be achieved through lectures/lessons, and with all the other tools capable of facilitating learning and the problem solving of the main aspects of the prevention and control of infection within applied hygiene.
APPLIED ECONOMICS
The main learning objective is the knowledge of the principal characteristics and determinants of the markets functionings. Particular focus will be devoted to the study of the healthcare sector. Students are expected to learn how an economic analysis can be used to design and implement healthcare services Finally, students will learn the use of economic analysis and cost -benefit approach to evaluate public policies with particular focus to health technologies and the evaluation of new health professional roles.
FORENSIC MEDICINE
Aim of the course of Legal Medicine is to provide students with knowledge of the essential elements of forensic pathology and of the rules necessary to carry out the health profession.

Learning objective is the knowledge of common rheumatic diseases, of those rheumatic diseases that involve an emergency treatment, of socially relevant rheumatic diseases; recognition of symptoms and signs associated with rheumatic diseases; knowledge of the meaning red flags in rheumatology; to be able to evaluate the results of the most indicative laboratory parameters in the diagnostic iter of rheumatic diseases; knowledge of the correct use of imaging in rheumatology (X-rays, ultrasounds, magnetic resonance, computerized tomography, scintigraphy).
These objectives will be achieved through lectures aimed at improving the ability to address and resolve the main issues of Rheumatology field.The purpose of the course is to increase the students knowledge about the functional assessment and management of the main muscle-skeletal disorders. Basics on manual therapy and therapeutic exercise will be provided. Allowing the students to properly complete the physical therapy assessment is the last goal of the course, by widening the students’ skills to manage and plan a rehabilitation program.The course aims to give in a simple and interactive way information relating to assistive devices for autonomy, for sitting posture in a wheelchair, electronic solutions for moving and home automation technologies. Within a process aimed at improving the quality of life of the person with disability, the emphasis is placed on the assistive device as an integral part of the rehabilitation process and tools for its evaluation are offered to the therapist.
The potential and limits of solutions aimed at motor disabilities and life situations are examined. First of all the tricks useful to all users are considered, then the tools are deepened by customizing the choices in complex cases.Knowledge of the assessment and treatment techniques of a patient with spinal cord injuries are essential objectives.
Furthermore, knowledge of the principles and techniques of treatment of proprioceptive neuromuscular facilities are also essential objectives.
These objectives will be achieved through lectures aimed at improving the ability to address and resolve the main issues of this field.
