BAU International University Batumi organised Cardiovascular Awareness Day to draw attention to the importance of cardiovascular health and to strengthen preventive health approaches. The event, held within the university, was supported by theoretical and practical studies raising awareness among students about cardiovascular health. The programme offered a learning environment where health education combined with community awareness.

The Importance of Awareness in Cardiovascular Health

Cardiovascular health is of great importance in terms of regular follow-up, healthy lifestyle habits and early assessment of risk factors. The work carried out as part of Cardiovascular Awareness Day contributed to participants improving their fundamental knowledge in this area and becoming familiar with the preventive health approach.

The theoretical part of the event addressed the preservation of cardiovascular health, understanding risk factors and the impact of early awareness on health. This content supported students in connecting their academic knowledge with daily life and developing a strong perspective on health communication.

Theoretical and Practical Training Together

The practical part of the programme focused on students reinforcing their health knowledge through direct experience. Supporting theoretical presentations with practical work ensured that the knowledge acquired on cardiovascular health became understandable and permanent.

This approach strengthened the medical education to be conducted together with practice, observation and communication processes, rather than being limited to academic content alone. Students experienced the preventive medicine approach by evaluating the basic principles for protecting cardiovascular health through practical work.

Cardiovascular Awareness Day from a Student's Perspective

In the video prepared as part of the event, BAU International University Batumi sixth-year medical student Reshma Niraula explained the meaning of Cardiovascular Awareness Day and the activities carried out throughout the programme. This evaluation, shared from a student's perspective, made the educational aspect of the event and its impact on the participants visible.

Reshma Niraula's share demonstrated that students do not remain merely as individuals participating in events, but also contribute to the process as active stakeholders who transmit health knowledge and create awareness. This approach supported the development of medical students' communication, leadership and social responsibility skills.

As an important part of medical education, BAU International University Batumi regularly includes preventive health, public health and awareness raising activities. Cardiovascular Awareness Day stood out as one of the examples of this approach.

While bringing academic knowledge and practical experience together in the same programme, the event strengthened students' understanding of preventive medicine. The content, supported by theoretical sessions, practical studies and student narration, created a multi-faceted learning process on cardiovascular health.

Healthcare professionals bear an important responsibility in ensuring that individuals and society have access to accurate health information. For this reason, the active participation of medical students in awareness-raising activities during their education forms an important part of their professional development.

The work carried out as part of Cardiovascular Awareness Day strengthened students' skills in conveying scientific knowledge in an understandable language, sharing health messages with the community and relating the preventive health approach to daily life. Reshma Niraula's narration in the video also demonstrated the value of student participation in this process.

BAU International University Batumi continues to support future healthcare professionals with clinical knowledge, social responsibility and effective communication skills through similar events. Cardiovascular Awareness Day drew attention as a comprehensive event where students combined their academic education with a public health perspective, reinforcing practical-oriented learning and raising health awareness across the campus.
