Introduction and Basics of Operational Medicine

Data

Official data in SubjectManager for the following academic year: 2023-2024

Topic

After defining the concept of Operational Medicine, we address the peculiarities of healthcare under special/extreme conditions and circumstances. For the attainment of an extended knowledge about the background of the subject, it is necessary to study the structure and management system of the armed forces, as well as the bases of international and Hungarian military organizations and treaties. We will try to give a general idea of Military Medicine, Disaster Medicine and Law Enforcement Medicine, and of their differences compare to other medical work areas.
Teaching materials used by NATO, The Hungarian Defence Forces and the Ministry of the Interior are also applied in the subject-matter of instruction. The course is interactive - for the deeper understanding of emerging issues during the semester, manual trainings will also be held.
