Learning objectives
The purpose of the course is to teach students about:
- basic statistical and epidemiological knowledge necessary to understand and deal with issues related to the organization, research and teaching in the field of health sciences, diagnostic techniques.
- Acquire historical-medical knowledge and skills in the field of bioethics and the history of bioethics, as well as aspects of teaching in the health sector deriving from the history of medical sciences and technical sciences applied to health professions.

Expected learning outcomes
- Use and apply IT, epidemiological and statistical methods and tools for:
- Plan and carry out applied research in the field of technical health disciplines
- Provide teaching and training in the field of technical health disciplines
- Understanding the competences related to the study of human behavior in its moral, ethical-social, political, communication ethics dimension. Understand the elaborations on the relationship between man and the environment and reflect on the ethical consequences that derive from the development of the sciences.
- Analyze the set of scientific fields and scientific-disciplinary skills related to the design and implementation of information processing systems, as well as to their management and use in various application contexts. This includes the theoretical foundations, the methods and the technologies used to produce technically valid projects, from the point of view of both the adequacy of the proposed solutions and the possibility of technical realization of both economic convenience and organizational effectiveness.
- Analyze the biological functions, biochemical and evolutionary characteristics of nucleic acids, and the biological functions they perform in all organisms.
