	Objectives
	THE STUDENT WILL ACQUIRE KNOWLEDGE OF THE MAIN ISSUES OF MEDICAL PHYSICS OF INTEREST TO THE DEGREE COURSE. IN PARTICULAR, HE WILL ACQUIRE KNOWLEDGE OF THE MAIN MODELS OF MEDICAL PHYSICS, IN CONNECTION WITH THE ASSUMPTIONS ON WHICH THESE MODELS ARE BASED, CRITICALLY UNDERSTANDING ALSO LIMITS OF VALIDITY AND APPLICABILITY IN REAL CONTEXTS (KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING). THE STUDENT WILL BE ABLE TO SUCCESSFULLY APPLY THE MODELS OF MEDICAL PHYSICS TO QUALITATIVE AND QUANTITATIVE DESCRIPTION OF REAL CASES ALSO, AND ESPECIALLY, IN INTERDISCIPLINARY CONTEXTS OF INTEREST TO THE DEGREE COURSE, BY TESTING HYPOTHESES AND CONDITIONS ON WHICH THESE MODELS ARE BASED. THE STUDENT WILL ALSO BE ABLE TO EVALUATE THE QUALITY OF THE EXPECTED RESULTS BOTH IN RELATION TO THE INTRINSIC APPROXIMATIONS OF THE PHYSICAL MODEL ADOPTED AND IN RELATION TO THE MEASUREMENT ERRORS (APPLIED KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING). THE STUDENT WILL BE ABLE TO INTEGRATE THE NECESSARY KNOWLEDGE AND MANAGE THE COMPLEXITY OF THE INFORMATION IN THE ACQUISITION AND APPLICATION OF THE KNOWLEDGE OF MEDICAL PHYSICS, TO FORMULATE JUDGMENTS AND ASSUMPTIONS OF WORK, ALSO ON THE BASIS OF INCOMPLETE OR LIMITED INFORMATION, AND ON THE EFFECTS AND RESPONSIBILITIES RELATED TO THE PRACTICAL APPLICATION OF THE KNOWLEDGE (INDEPENDENT JUDGMENT). THE STUDENT WILL ACQUIRE THE ABILITY TO PRESENT TOPICS COVERED IN THE COURSE OF MEDICAL PHYSICS WITH PROPERTIES AND SIMPLICITY OF LANGUAGE, AIMED ALSO TO A CLEAR AND EFFECTIVE TRANSMISSION OF CONTENTS AND RESULTS IN INTERDISCIPLINARY CONTEXTS, IN PRESENCE OF INTERLOCUTORS WHO ARE NOT EXPERTS IN THE FIELD (COMMUNICATION). THE STUDENT WILL ACQUIRE SKILLS ALLOWING HIM TO EXPANDING AND DEEPENING THE THEMES OF MEDICAL PHYSICS AND ITS INTERDISCIPLINARY APPLICATIONS IN AN AUTONOMOUS WAY (LEARNING SKILLS).
