DENTAL MEDICINE

Graduate academic studies (integrated study) in Dental Medicine last for six academic years, and the lectures consist of basic and elective courses. The Dental Medicine Study Programme yields the educational profile DOCTOR OF DENTAL MEDICINE – 360 ECTS. During the first semesters, students are expected to gain knowledge in basic natural sciences (which are significant for the Dental Medicine studies) and basic medical sciences, while the lectures during the senior years of study are more oriented towards professional and professional-applied courses in dental medicine. In the 11th and 12th semester, professional practice is conducted through block teaching, necessary for future professional work, as well as preparation for the final thesis.

DENTAL MEDICINE

Study programme objectives

The primary objective of the integrated academic studies of dental medicine is to provide students with necessary skills and theoretical knowledge, as well as with the satisfactory level of practical experience for their future profession. This is realised through the following:

primary, secondary, and tertiary healthcare and dental medicine level
educational and scientific research activity within the fields of dental medicine and complementary disciplines.

Students are offered an opportunity of participating in research projects, where they are introduced to basic methods of scientific research: statistical, epidemiological, molecular, and genetic. In addition, the integrated studies provide students with the knowledge required for the continuation of academic studies at the third cycle (doctoral studies).

The Faculty of Medicine is permanently dedicated to quality assurance policies and improving the competences of dental medicine doctors, in order for them to meet the demands of the profession and the market in general. In this respect, the Faculty feels very much obliged to the society to participate in basic and advanced studies and applied research on new approaches to treating oral cavity diseases, on new drugs and their respective administration, and on new preventive programmes and possible methods of their effective implementation. Continuous education in the aforementioned areas enables constant professional development for dental medicine doctors. These general objectives are intended as guidelines for dental medicine doctors on how to further their professional skills.

Enrolment requirements

The Study Programme of Dental Medicine is open for candidates who graduated from a 4-year secondary school in the Republic of Srpska, the Brcko District, and the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina, as well as for candidates who graduated from a 4-year secondary school abroad.

MIDWIFERY

MIDWIFERY

Graduate academic studies in Midwifery last for four academic years and consist of basic classes and elective courses. The total number of courses on the study programme (including the final thesis) is 49, which include 44 mandatory courses, 5 elective courses and the thesis. The Midwifery Study Programme yields the educational profile BACHELOR OF MIDWIFERY- 240 ECTS. The main goal of the academic studies is to provide the necessary theoretical and clinical training in the field of midwifery. The midwife is recognised as a responsible and reliable professional, who works in partnership with women, provides support, care and advice during pregnancy, birth and midwifery, monitors childbirth independently and provides care for new-borns and infants. The care involves preventive measures, promotion of natural birth, recognition of complications in mothers and children, access to health care and other forms of appropriate support, as well as implementation of emergency procedures in case of danger.

MIDWIFERY

Study programme objectives

The primary objective of the integrated studies of midwifery is to provide students with necessary theoretical and clinical knowledge and skills in midwifery.The EU 2005/36 EG midwifery education directive implies the following:

Education of pregnant women, including 100 prenatal examinations
Parturient women care and assistance to 40 women in labour
A student has to deliver 40 childbirths.
Active involvement – providing assistance during pelvic presentation deliveries. If, due to shortage of that type of delivery, that is not possible, a student is allowed to train on a dummy.
Performing an episiotomy and providing assistance with stitching an episiotomy wound and minor ruptures. Introduction to these procedures contains theoretical lessons and practical training. If that is not possible, stitching a wound may be performed on a dummy.
Care of and assistance to 40 risky pregnant women, deliveries, or parturient women.
Care and supervision of at least 100 parturient women and healthy newborns with respective examinations provided.
Care and supervision of newborns at health risk, such as pre-term deliveries, post-term deliveries, and ill-born babies.
Care of women with pathological conditions in gynecology and obstetrics.
Introduction to healthcare and midwifery in the fields of medicine and surgery (theoretical knowledge and practical skills)
