Repository overview and usage instructions |
The goal of this implementation is to provide a structured, multilingual (English, Greek, French) framework for academic courses. Each template follows European Higher Education Area (EHEA) standards, ensuring clear learning outcomes and workload transparency.
| Course Code | Title | Semester | ECTS Credits |
|---|---|---|---|
| MSPYL201 | Structure and Organization of Public Health Laboratories | B | 6 |
| MSPYL302 | Epidemiological Surveillance Methodology | C | 6 |
The courses aim to develop both specific scientific knowledge and general professional skills:
- Scientific Proficiency: Understanding laboratory contributions to public health, risk assessment of biological parameters, and design of surveillance systems.
- General Competencies: Data synthesis using modern technologies, decision-making, and the ability to work in international/interdisciplinary environments.
Both courses utilize a blended learning approach:
- Delivery Methods: Face-to-face lectures and distance learning (synchronous via MS Teams and asynchronous via Moodle).
- ICT Integration: Use of e-learning platforms for notes, lecture slides, case reports, and laboratory quizzes.
- Workload: Each course represents a total workload of 150 hours per semester.
The templates break down complex public health topics into 13 distinct units:
- MSPYL201: Biosecurity levels, quality management, molecular diagnosis, and communication with decision-making centers.
- MSPYL302: Surveillance in emergency situations, COVID-19 pandemic monitoring, and epidemic investigation through cohort and case-control studies.
Performance is assessed through a standardized summative process:
- Method: Final written examination worth 100% of the grade
- Format: Multiple-choice questions, short answers, and problem-solving exercises
- Passing Criteria: Minimum grade of 5/10 required for successful completion
The courses are supported by high-level academic resources:
- World Health Organization (WHO): International Health Regulations and Laboratory Biosafety Manuals
- CDC: Field Epidemiology Manuals and Biosafety in Microbiological Laboratories
- Standardization: ISO 35001 for Biorisk Management
