The course "Medical Informatics" is attended during the 2nd turn of the 2nd year of study of medicine, with a total duration of 20 school hours. Students are divided into 2 seminar groups for seminar classes. Each seminar group is in two training subgroups for practicals and has 10-14 students. Teaching is held in lecture halls of the faculty’s main building and in the Computer Classroom (ground floor, left). Part of the seminar course is held for all students as demonstration lessons. The student computer classroom is equipped with fifteen personal computers, and the practicals cover work with programs running in the Windows 7 operating environment. All computers are networked and connected to the Internet and equipped with headphones. During the practical each student is working independently on the computer. Course content: Basic IT concepts, medical data management, theory and information processing and communication. Application of medical informatics procedures. Importance, organization and use of medical language, coding and classification. The structure and importance of electronic health records. Computer analysis of biological signals and medical images. The construction and use of medical databases and databases with biomedical scientific papers. Strategies of Management and Classification of Medical Knowledge. Evidence-Based Medicine. Health Information Systems in Primary and Hospital Health Care. Clinical decision support system and their use in treating patients and in acquiring, processing and displaying medical knowledge. The role and role of medical models, modeling and simulations. Safety and confidentiality of medical data. Assessment method: Students are evaluated during each class at each seminar and practical unit. During the seminars, each student is assessed on the basis content from the textbooks and selected online content. Students prepare final seminar work on the given topics and present them in the lesson. The content, scope and knowledge of the topic of the final seminar, the presentation and the quality of the presentation are evaluated. The total number of score points for seminars is 28 points. Practicals are organized in 5 units. Accuracy and quality of the practical assignment are evaluated on each practical. Practicals are performed in the computer classroom and each student independently prepares assignments on the computer. A maximum of 42 score points is achieved on the practicals.

ECTS Grading System:
Student grading will be conducted according to the current Ordinance on Studies of the University of Rijeka (approved by the Senate) and the Ordinance on Student Grading at the Faculty of Medicine in Rijeka (approved by the Faculty Council). Student work will be assessed and graded during the course and on the final exam. During the course, a student may achieve up to 70% of the grade, while at the final exam up to 30% of the grade. Students are graded according to the ECTS credit (A-E) and numeric (1-5) system. Students are obliged to attend all forms of teaching during the course and may be absent from 30% of the classes. If a student is absent for more than 30% of the classes, he will not receive a signature and will have to re-enter the course.

Total score: | 70 | |
The student must collect at least 35 credits in order to gain access to the final exam. A student who collects less than 35 credits during class is classified as F (unsufficient) meaning that he did not meet the criteria and must re-enroll the course.
The final exam is a written test, consisting of 30 questions. The student passed the exam if he answered exactly 15 questions or more.
The marks awarded on the exam are summed up with the points earned in the class and the sum represents the total score.
