At the end of the course, the student should have acquired basic knowledge of clinical risk management, be able to analyze a near miss or an adverse event using established root cause analysis methods, and correctly use medical records both as a tool for continuity of care and as a means of conflict prevention.
Applied Knowledge and Understanding
By the end of the course, students should be able to apply the acquired knowledge to assess the liability of healthcare professionals in various legal contexts, implement these principles in patient care, and protect the right to health, also by understanding error prevention strategies in healthcare.
Independent Judgment
Students should be able to critically evaluate the knowledge acquired and translate it into their current and future practical experience.
Communication Skills
Students should be able to actively participate in discussions on legal medicine topics, dispute management, conflict prevention, and healthcare risk management.
