Preventive medicine is a medical specialization that deals with the terms of health protection and health promotion. Health protection includes the study of factors of the living and working environment (biological, chemical, and physical factors) that can induce the emergence and development of diseases (especially cardiovascular, metabolic, and oncological diseases) and proposals for reduction of their risks. Health promotion includes the study of lifestyle factors that can induce the emergence and development of diseases (especially cardiovascular, metabolic, and oncological diseases) and proposals for reduction of their risks. The course of Preventive Medicine II is a continuation of the course Preventive Medicine I (during the winter semester) and contain selected chapters mainly from the field of Health Protection. The course is focused on dangerous factors in the living and occupational environment and on possibilities of primary and early secondary prevention.

RULES OF THE CREDIT OBTAINING:

Students are required to study the seminar materials in Moodle and at least one week before the seminar, submit one related question for each topic (1 question per seminar = 5 questions in total). Submission options: (a) fill in the questionnaire in Moodle; (b) in case of emergency, send it via e-mail to: michaela.hanzlova@lfhk.cuni.cz. Failure to submit the question will be qualified as an absence from the seminar. Note: Study materials for the first five seminars (Nos. 1–5) will be available as presentations with recordings and/or commentaries in Moodle. All seminars are in face-to-face format.
At the end of each seminar (Nos. 1–5)., students take a partial test on the given topic: 10 multiple-choice questions (one point for each correctly answered question). Students must achieve at least 70% (7 points out of 10) in each test. If the student does not achieve at least 70% in any test or misses more than one seminar, they will have to write a comprehensive credit test covering the topics of all seminars (20 multiple-choice questions), which must also be passed with at least 70%.
In the last seminar (No. 6), students in groups (maximum of 4 people) will present a PowerPoint presentation about the primary/secondary prevention of serious diseases in their home countries (presentation ~10 min + discussion ~10 min).
One absence is tolerated at seminars. In case of two absences, the student will take a comprehensive credit test covering all seminar topics. Avoid more than two absences as it poses a risk of repeating the year. Extraordinary cases will be dealt with by the Subject Guarantor in collaboration with the Head of the Institute.
