- Prerequisites
- Commen level of high school knowledge in physics
- Course Enrolment Limitations
- The course is only offered to the students of the study fields the course is directly associated with.
- fields of study / plans the course is directly associated with
- Midwife (programme LF, B-PA)
- General Nurse (programme LF, B-OS)
- Course objectives
- At the of the course students should be able: understand and explain biophysical principlesand laws;master biophysical methods in of the main devices;evaluate obtained data by the basic biophysical methods in light of a effective,safe and efficient attitude to their use; understand principles of the more comples terapeutical and diagnostical nedical devices;master basic principles of the so-called physiological biophysics and molecular biophysics.The student has to obtain not only the necessary scientific knowledge but also the future more general additional nurse education.

- Teaching methods
- Lectures
- Assessment methods
- The practical exercises in Biophysics are compulsory, missing practicals have to be substituted. The exam has theoretical character but can be done only with the credits gained for practicals. The oral part consists of 3 questions as a rule. The examined student has to be able explain the problems and characterise their possible clinical importance.
- Language of instruction
- Czech
- Further comments (probably available only in Czech)
- Information on completion of the course: Předmět je ukončen ústní zkouškou, kde student si vylosuje 3 otázky.
The course can also be completed outside the examination period.
The course is taught annually.
