Medical examinations
- While attending a programme during which PhD Students are exposed to harmful, noxious, or hazardous factors, doctoral students have to, after enrollment, be referred for a medical examination by an occupational medicine. The purpose of a medical examination is to assess the possibility of undertaking or continuing education.
- Factors that are harmful, noxious, or hazardous to health are defined and occur in the following scientific and artistic disciplines:
- biotechnology - computer work, bacteria, fungi, volatile organic solvents, acids, bases;
- materials engineering - work at a screen monitor;
- biological sciences - computer work, bacteria, fungi, contact with plant allergens, volatile organic solvents, acids, bases, ultraviolet radiation (UV), excessive lighting, Lyme disease;
- medical sciences - ultraviolet (UV) radiation, infrared (IR) radiation, laser radiation, electromagnetic (EM) radiation, ultrasound, mechanical vibration, hazards associated with operating visual display terminals, excessive/poor lighting, parasite eggs and cysts, hepatitis B virus (HBV) and hepatitis C virus (HCV), human acquired immunodeficiency virus (HIV), tubercle bacillus, toxoplasma gondii, borrelia burgdorferi, mold fungi and other molds of allergenic nature, other nosocomial infections, inorganic acids and bases, organic acids and bases, formaldehyde, chromates, aromatic amines, higher alcohols and aldehydes, paraformaldehyde, fully denatured ethyl alcohol, concentrated acids, sodium hypochlorite, buffered formalin;
- health sciences - threats related to computer operation, perceptual overload or underload, emotional stress, ultraviolet radiation (UV), infrared radiation (IR), laser radiation, electromagnetic radiation (EM), ionizing radiation, ultrasound (US), drugs, sterilizing fluids, anesthetic gases, latex in medical devices, airborne and blood-borne pathogens (hepatitis B virus (HBV) and C virus (HCV)), human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), varicella zoster virus, influenza virus, tuberculosis bacillus, physical exertion;
- agriculture and horticulture - laboratory work, work with chemical reagents of organic and inorganic compounds commonly used and applied in teaching activities, computer work, contact with animals and material of animal origin, allergens of plant origin and microorganisms;
- fine arts and art conservation - turpentine, extraction naphtha, benzene, nitric acid, forced body position (standing);
- food and nutrition technology - work with chemical reagents of organic and inorganic compounds commonly used and applied in teaching activities, work with material of animal origin, microorganisms, organic acids and bases, inorganic acids and bases, computer work, allergens of plant origin.
- The occupational health examination is free of charge if performed in the indicated facility on the basis of a referral.
- The list of the indicated facilities can be found at the link.
- The scope of the medical examination and the date of the next examination are determined by the doctor, based on the data included in the referral.
- The medical examination is completed with the issuance of a certificate.
- Ph.D. students are required to provide a medical certificate to the Secretary's Office of the Doctoral School within a set deadline.
- Please remember that it is possible to perform the above-mentioned tests in other medical facilities in the country, but it may be associated with additional fees.
