RESEARCH

The purpose of the Master’s Program entitled "Holistic Treatment of Risk Factors for Cardiorespiratory Diseases" (Smoking Prevention and Cessation, Psychological Interventions, Nutrition, Physical Activity)", is the provision of high-level postgraduate education in the Medical Sector.

Upon successful completion of the program, graduates will be able to:
- Recognize and safely manage situations at the pre-hospital level, prevent the occurrence of cardiorespiratory diseases, optimize the outcome of treatment

- Take positions of responsibility in the public and private sector and in the field of education.

- Students will gain knowledge of preventing cardiorespiratory disease as well as gather experience in the clinical application of the management of cardiorespiratory disease risk factor.

To meet its objectives, the program uses evidence-based lifestyle change management practices (smoking cessation, stress management, healthy nutrition, healthy sleep and physical activity) through behavioral approaches combined with clinical management of common risk factors and covers a broad spectrum of preventive medicine, from asymptomatic individuals to patients at high multifactorial risk.

We place strong emphasis on practice with the aim of equipping our students with the ability to translate theory into everyday clinical practice, using a variety of specialized tools.
The Master’s Program is designed to fit across the spectrum of healthcare and public health and to equip our students for any career (public health, public and private primary and secondary care delivery, lifestyle medicine, research, policy).

Students will receive academic and research training in a wide spectrum of practice relating to the clinical management and lifestyle medicine of cardiovascular and respiratory health care, as well as the ability to use new technologies and interventions for prevention, diagnosis and management of the disease, providing people-centered health care.
We believe that the wide and timely application of holistic approach to prevention and treatment of cardiorespiratory diseases will increase the effectiveness of medical treatments, its patients and citizens application, with a significant impact on public health.
