DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH CARE AND POPULATION PROTECTION, CTU IN PRAGUE to Exhibit at Future Forces 2024

19-02-2024

The Department of Health Care and Population Protection, CTU in Prague will present the work of its scientific teams.

 

Department of Health Care and Population Protection

The Department of Health Care and the Population Protection interconnects health care study programs with programs focused on protection of population and this is reflected in the specialization of our teaching staff and externs. Our academic staff cooperates with a number of top-class workplaces, either medical or those that focus on the protection of the population. In addition, cooperation on solving scientific-research and pedagogical tasks with the academic workplaces of some universities is another benefit. The Department of Health Care and Population Protection offers:

The Department of Health Care and Population Protection offers bachelor's degree programs in Physiotherapy; Paramedics; Radiology Assistance; Medical Laboratory Technician; Medical Laboratory Diagnostics; Planning and Management of Crisis Situation. The follow-up Master study program offered is Civil Emergency Planning, and the Department of Health Care and Population Protection is used as a training center for the doctoral study program Civil Emergency Preparedness.
