title: [Application of quality standards to activities at the Advanced School of Hygiene and Preventive Medicine of Rome (Tor Vergata University): early results].
abstract: In the academic year 2001-2002, experts from the Advanced School of Hygiene and Preventive Medicine of Rome (Tor Vergata University) have tested a quality approach based on the ISO standards 9000:2000. In so doing, they have questioned the school's didactic organization itself. In order to assess such approach, students were given pre-course and post-course schedules, reflecting 38% and 61% of correct answers respectively. The popularity rating was set at 8.3 out of 10, and the survey has shown that quality standards can well be applied to the activities of the school.
