A Medical Biophysics Conceptual Base for Medical / Healthcare / Technology Students at the Department of Biophysics, Facultyof Medicine, Masaryk Uni., Brno

摘要

At the department of Biophysics of the Faculty of Medicine, Masaryk University, Brno, Czech Republic, we teach several groups of students from different faculties, which represent practically all sectors of future healthcare professionals. These professionals need to share common conceptual understandings and terminology in order to be able to function effectively as multidisciplinary healthcare teams in their future careers. Medical Biophysics is becoming an inter-faculty link between the different curricular approaches at the various faculties, in effect creating a common conceptual and terminological base to facilitate this sharing. We schematically describe and discuss the medical biophysics theoretical and practical curriculum for our students. The practical exercises consist of three sets: a basic set which is common to all professions and which ensures a solid foundation to all students, and specialized and medical sets chosen according to the future specific healthcare profession of the students. We also present plans for the future elaboration and development of these practical sessions.
