In the course of this project, the Department of Environmental and Occupational Medicine introduced the Practical Activity Simulation Model (PASM), which is still in use today. PASM is a computer program (simulator) + practical activity simulation situation, which consists of theoretical information of the topic + visual information + legal database + virtual practical work + problem situation + self-control test. During laboratory work, students perform virtual laboratory work and solve complex problem situations at the computerised workplace.
