To learn fundamental principles and methods of mechanical science, dealing with motion and deformation of bodies under the action of forces; to develop abilities and skills related to applications of contemporary mathematical tools and information technologies in recognition, identification, formulation and possible solutions of biomechanical problems related to internal medicine

Ability to use the acquired knowledge in quantification of both normal and pathological processes; to recognize correct models of motion for both motions of human body in 3D and motions within human body; possibility to practice individually, work hard, think creatively, and apply the collected knowledge in design of new solutions for problems related to diagnosis and treatments.

This course comprises mechanical models, the language of equations and information technologies for the purpose of getting insight into questions on normal and pathological states of human body as well as the processes determining the boundary between this two. Despite the quantitative nature of their arguments because they use numbers and intervals of acceptable values to make decisions on diagnosis and treatments, most of clinical physicians, during their training and practice, use only verbal descriptions of the sequences leading from normal to pathological states considering both cell and system physiology. In the last decades in journals, monographs and textbooks on medicine, a large number of results appeared as a result of research that crosses the barriers between scientific disciplines. Hemodynamics, nephrology, neurology and pulmonology are now related to models and carefully designed measurements. Thus course is based on selected chapters of the below references.

Lectures, study research work and consultations. The lectures provide a theoretical part of the material using modern equipment and information and communication technologies. Through lectures, a student acquires and mastered contemporary scientific knowledge, scientific methods and procedures that enable him to become independent research work. In addition to lectures, consultations are also held regularly. Study research work includes all forms of teaching that are in the function of directly training a student for research, writing scientific papers and making a doctoral dissertation. Study research work includes active monitoring of primary scientific sources, organization and execution of numerical simulations and experimental research.
