	Objectives
	By the end of the course, students will have acquired knowledge on epidemiology and prevention, healthcare organization and planning. The student will be able to understand the meaning of health indicators, the general healthcare situation in our country, basic prophylaxis concepts, general knowledge of organization, programming, and healthcare economics, environmental and hospital hygiene. Students should be able to comprehend complex phenomena and issues in healthcare, relevant to the obstetric profession, placing them in a broader demographic-epidemiological, socio-cultural, and political-institutional context. They should understand obstetric-gynecological care processes linked to the evolution of health issues, the functioning of healthcare and social systems, and specific professional pathways. Moreover, by the end of the course, students will have acquired knowledge related to the legal aspects concerning the profession. Knowledge and Understanding Skills: The course aims to provide students with the basic concepts necessary for healthcare organization, analyzed in the context of the national and international healthcare systems, particularly in maternal and child health. Students will be introduced to the main models of healthcare process management. They will also gain knowledge to understand the rights and duties of healthcare workers and the principles of healthcare service programming and organization in the maternal-child sector. Ability to Apply Knowledge and Understanding: By the end of the course, students should be able to apply management knowledge to all types of healthcare organizations. They should understand the primary models of production processes in complex contexts like healthcare, supporting organizational management and governance. Furthermore, they should be able to apply risk management principles, plan and participate in birth and parenthood support programs, organize health education and promotion interventions with a focus on sexually transmitted diseases, and collect, analyze, and interpret clinical-assistive data for research and evaluation of healthcare results. They should use their knowledge to analyze healthcare services' organizational models, resources, and processes focused on gender health protection, childbirth, and developmental stages. Additionally, students should be able to take responsibility for their actions in their professional practice, adhering to their professional profile and ethical code, respecting current regulations. Judgment Autonomy: Students should gradually gain autonomy in managing and implementing diagnostic-therapeutic procedures related to the health of women, newborns, and couples, working in a healthcare team at varying levels of care intensity. They will also demonstrate judgment autonomy in applying verification tools to assess the effectiveness of preventive interventions. Communication Skills: Students will develop the ability to present healthcare organizational levels, clinical governance, and corporate management, explaining organizational management choices in healthcare contexts. They will also learn to conduct effective interpersonal interviews with users of all ages and their families, as well as with other healthcare professionals, following a clear and methodical approach. Additionally, students will be able to guide and encourage users towards healthy choices, reinforcing coping skills, self-esteem, and available resources. They will also learn to manage communication skills for national and international exchanges and use teaching principles to conduct informative or educational interventions for individuals, families, groups, and other professionals such as support staff, midwifery students, and nursing students. Learning Skills: Students should be able to apply clinical and corporate governance models and tools, critically analyze healthcare management and organization aspects, and utilize the most suitable interpretive keys for understanding them. They should develop independent study skills, demonstrate the ability to embrace uncertainties in both study and practice, and be able to engage in self-learning, collaborative learning, and self-assessment within work teams.
