Description

Within the education, health care providers are trained for various special areas. The health care profession is human-oriented work in varying environments within social and health care. Health and nursing science is the science from which the health care profession, nursing work and care are based. In addition to health care, students study public health sciences, medical subjects, behavioral and natural sciences such as anatomy, physiology and pharmacology.
The studies within the program are realised through lectures, independent and virtual studies, simulation exercises, and supervised clinical studies (internships).

The health care education provides both health care and nursing eligibility.

The core of the studies is the care of people of different age groups and life situations. Health sciences, health promotion health sciences, medical subjects, care work, medication management, anatomy and physiology, research methodology and professional communication are also key topics. The training emphasises preventative, interprofessional and person-centered ways of working to promote patient health.
The studies include small group work, lectures, independent and virtual studies, simulations, various examinations and work-based projects. Supervised clinical studies (internships) are included in the studies from the second semester, and usually mean 4 - 5 week periods in social and health care at health centers, hospitals, home health care, counseling and other healthcare institutions. The clinical studies (internship) make up about half of the studies.
