• the biological, psychological, behavioural, social, economic, and environmental determinants of health and their role in population health
CLO.2 Application of Knowledge
You will be able to:
• apply knowledge of health determinants, levels of prevention, and health promotion to interpret case-based scenarios.
• identify appropriate approaches to the prevention and control of communicable and non-communicable diseases.
CLO.3 Autonomy of Judgement
You will be able to:
• Interpret the interaction of multiple determinants of health to draw conclusions about population health and health inequalities.
• evaluate public health scenarios to select the most appropriate preventive or health-promoting interventions.
CLO.5 Learning Skills

Prerequisiti
This first-year integrated course, which constitutes a fundamental part of your foundational training in medicine and surgery, presupposes a secondary level education in humanities, science and mathematics subjects.
Metodi didattici
Teaching methods include lectures, guided discussion, and structured independent study. Lectures present key concepts in hygiene, preventive medicine, and public health (supporting CLO.1 and CLO.2) and use case studies to support the application and interpretation of knowledge (supporting CLO.2 and CLO.3). Teaching activities are supported by the e-learning platform, which provides learning materials and guidance to support independent study and exam preparation (supporting CLO.5). Throughout the course, students are directed to further readings and additional learning resources to consolidate knowledge and support their development (supporting CLO.5)
