Chronic non-communicable diseases cause the death of 41 million people worldwide every year, according to data from the World Health Organization (WHO). And the most lethal of these are cardiovascular diseases, followed by cancer, respiratory diseases and diabetes. 

Although these diseases affect all types of people, regardless of their age, gender or where they live, they are more concentrated in elderly populations. However, it is in resource-poor countries where more than 85% of premature deaths occur.  

In order to reduce these morbidity figures, it is necessary to continue prevention and research into these diseases and their relation to infections. It is important to consider the fact that patient symptoms with this type of disease may worsen when they come into contact with infectious agents. 

To meet the healthcare needs of the 21st century, medical professionals need to keep up with advances in patient care. In light of this, and thanks to this postgraduate certificate, professionals will be able to deepen their knowledge in the relation between the development of certain infections in patients with chronic non-communicable diseases, including stress, atherosclerosis, digestive or neurological diseases, among others. All this from the hand of the best professionals, which will allow you to acquire the most accurate knowledge for patient treatment. 

This training will give you a sense of confidence when practicing medicine, which will help you grow both personally and professionally"

This postgraduate certificate in Chronic Non-Communicable Diseases and Infections contains the most complete and updated scientific program on the market. The most important features of the certificate are:

  • Firstly, Clinical features, in order to address the health-infectious disease process in a particular person through the study of the most prevalent and deadly infectious diseases and, secondly, in Epidemiologic features, to study the behavior of the same phenomenon in a particular population. 
  • Training and professional development in the indication, performance and interpretation of the main state-of-the-art diagnostic tests to complement clinical skills in the diagnostic process. Emphasizing the most up-to-date microbiological tests used to rapidly diagnose germs and study antimicrobial resistance.
  • Training and professional development in the complex and determining pathophysiological relationships between immune response and infectious agents.
  • Training and professional development in germs related to neoplasms and chronic non-communicable diseases.
  • Training and professional development in the development and production of vaccines for the control of morbidity and mortality due to infectious diseases.
  • Training and professional development in the important field of antimicrobial therapeutics, providing the best available information on the development and production of new antibiotics.

This postgraduate certificate may be the best investment you can make in the selection of a refresher program for two reasons: in addition to updating your knowledge of Chronic Non-Communicable Diseases and Infections, you will obtain a certificate from TECH TECH Technological University"

Its teaching staff is made up of prestigious and renowned Cuban professionals with a long career in health care, teaching and research, who have worked in many countries on several continents, developing professional and teaching experience that they deliver in an extraordinary way in this postgraduate certificate.

The methodological design of this postgraduate certificate, developed by a multidisciplinary team of e-learning experts, integrates the latest advances in educational technology for the creation of numerous educational multimedia tools that allow the professional, based primarily on the problem-based learning method, to address real problems in their daily clinical practice, which will allow them to advance by acquiring knowledge and developing skills that will impact their future professional work.

It should be noted that each of the contents generated for this postgraduate certificate, as well as the videos, self-evaluations, clinical cases and exams, have been thoroughly reviewed, updated, and integrated by the teachers and the team of experts that make up the working group, to facilitate the learning process with a step-by-step approach in order to achieve the teaching program objectives.

Postgraduate Certificate in Chronic Non-Communicable Diseases and Infections

According to the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO), chronic diseases that are not transmitted are the leading cause of death and disability in the world; annually about 41 million people die from these diseases, which represents a serious health problem that must be properly addressed. For this reason, health personnel develop action fronts that contribute to make more accurate diagnoses and treatments in each case. With the motivation to provide an academic response to the growing demand of professionals interested in treating these pathologies, TECH Technological University developed a Postgraduate Certificate in Chronic Non-Communicable Diseases and Infections, focused on providing quality content for students to make an optimal approach to each patient. In the course of two months of preparation, the future expert will address essential topics such as pathogenic mechanisms and the most frequent neoplasms associated with infectious agents, followed by the pathophysiological elements that act between non-communicable and contagious diseases.

Specialize in treating chronic non-transferable conditions.

Only at TECH you will find a methodological design based on multidisciplinary learning; the teaching staff of this Postgraduate Certificate is composed of prestigious and recognized professionals with extensive experience in health care, teaching and research. Therefore, you will have fully updated knowledge on the advances in clinical infectious diseases. Through this program, you will delve into bacterial genetics, epidemiology and microbiology of infectious diseases and their morbimortality, as well as the taxonomy of chemical and physical agents of microorganisms (viruses, bacteria, fungi, parasites). Next, you will delve into everything related to the mechanisms of pathogenicity, adhesion and multiplication of infectious hosts that inhibit the phagocytic process and evade the immune response of the organism. Finally, you will learn about the development and production of vaccines used to control morbidity and mortality due to contagious diseases, as well as antimicrobial therapeutics that develop new drugs. As a result of this, you will be a specialist in performing and interpreting state-of-the-art microbiological diagnostic tests, in order to make optimal rulings on the germs that inhabit a patient. Once you have completed your academic process, you will be able to implement prophylactic plans that contribute to prevent the future appearance of such pathologies.
