The purpose of discipline Epidemiology:
Development of knowledge and skills about general and special epidemiology
at the future dentists doctors, organization and implementation of prevention and
anti-epidemic measures, epidemiological surveillance in public health.
Objectives in the discipline of Epidemiology;
At the level of knowledge and understanding student should acquire:
 theoretical foundations of contemporary epidemiology;
 structure, mechanism of development and manifestations of infectious
morbidity;
 regularities and peculiarities of different epidemiological and nosological
forms of communicable diseases groups;
 risk factors which determine morbidity of the population;
 methods and statistical procedures and interpretation of the epidemiological
investigation, methodology of epidemiological diagnosis;
 anti-epidemic and prophylactic measures system;
 methods and means of prevention and control of diseases, including
infectious disease outbreaks and invasive evaluation criteria;
 principles of epidemiological surveillance in public health;
At the application level:
 apply concepts and principles of epidemiology in the event of occurrence or
threat of epidemic spread of infectious diseases
 to assess the epidemiological and prophylactic effectiveness;
 to manage the situation in case of parantheral diseases.

At the level of integration:
to use epidemiological studies, microbiological, clinical and hygiene in
estimating the causes, conditions and mechanism of formation of
communicable disease morbidity.
To realize the importance of early clinical diagnosis and treatment of
infectious and invasive diseases, as a premise in making appropriate
qualitative epidemiological measures (early isolation, prophylaxis of
carrying and chronic forms, effective disinfection and sterilization, etc.).
To realize the integrity interests of epidemiologists, microbiologists,
infectious disease, hygienists, family doctors, internists, surgeons, health
managers and the public in preventing and combating of communicable and
noncommunicable diseases.
To use full knowledge of epidemiology, immunology and clinical
performance efficient imunoprophylaxis.

Suggestions for individual activities:
To obtain positive results in Epidemiology student should study carefully the
material presented during the lectures and practical lessons. This includes the
following steps:
1. Listening the material presented in class for making notes. Formulate
questions during lecture and participate for discussions.
2. Attendance at courses must be wanted and not just to make presence.
3. Organizing discussions during the courses with answers to unclear test
questions. Questions unclear to the reader to consult with the group.
4. During the practical lessons carefully analyze tables provided by lecturer,
which will facilitate the ability to memorize material of the subject.
5. During the seminar make notes. Thus will not be forgotten in times and will
help to answer to the questions during the tests.
Methods of assessment
In the context of curriculum evaluation will be applied in all types of
examinations: initial, formative and final.
Final evaluation is expressed by a simple colloquium, which can promote
student to the next step. The final evaluation, conducted at the discipline, allowing
accumulation of transferable credits to, evidence confirming the involvement of
discipline in the formation of professional skills. Evaluation criteria are developed
based on discipline-curricular objectives.
