Course objectives
The aim of this course is to obtain basic knowledge in the molecular, cellular and system biophysics, with special impetus on the interaction with physical fields. It comprises the study of physical and physico-chemical nature of physiological processes in human organism, and related principles of diagnostics and therapy. The student has to obtain not only the necessary scientific knowledge but also the future more general additional nurse education.
