Infectious diseases continue to be the main cause of death and work impairment (reduction of productive life period) in the world. In 2016, of the total 56.4 million deaths worldwide, 33% were due to infectious diseases, 30% to cardiovascular diseases and 10% to cancer. The fight against disease has two simultaneous fronts: infectious diseases and chronic non-communicable diseases.

 
The fact that these factors interact with each other has conditioned us to not consider any part of the planet as isolated from the rest, and to look upon the appearance, reappearance or dissemination of imported or apparently eradicated infectious diseases in our environment as possibilities.

The complex epidemiological situation that the world has witnessed so far this century, has been exemplified by the deliberate release of Bacillus anthracis spores as a weapon of bio-terrorism to cause pulmonary anthrax in victims who inhaled them, the emergence of West Nile virus as a pathogen in the United States, the epidemic of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS), the zoonotic spread of monkeypox in the United States, the threat of pandemic influenza, the Ebola epidemic in Africa, the emergence of yellow fever cases in Angola, coupled with the re-emergence of dengue and cholera; the emergence of new arboviruses in the Americas region, such as Chikingunya and more recently Zika, together with morbidity from other endemic infectious diseases such as HIV/AIDS, leptospirosis, tuberculosis, community-acquired pneumonia and the increase in antibiotic resistance with the development of multidrug-resistant bacteria; all of which highlight the unprecedented need to improve the training and development process with human capital in order to increase the competence and performance levels of pharmaceutical personnel required to meet the challenges involved in controlling and dealing with biological, hospital and public health emergencies that will guarantee the quality and safety of health care for the population in any part of the world.

Postgraduate Certificate in Antimicrobial Resistance and the Correct Use of Antibiotics

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a global public health problem accelerated by the misuse of antibiotics. Here, it is essential that healthcare workers implement measures to combat AMR and ensure the correct use of antibiotics. Education and awareness are key to prevent the spread of this problem and preserve the effectiveness of antibiotics. At TECH Technological University we developed the Postgraduate Certificate in Antimicrobial Resistance and Correct Use of Antibiotics, a 100% online Postgraduate Certificate, through which you will learn the most fundamental aspects of this health field. The curricular contents proposed in the curriculum range from national and international policies on the use of antimicrobials and how they affect clinical practice, to current research in AMR and how they can contribute to the fight against antimicrobial resistance through research and education.

Learn all about antimicrobial resistance and the correct use of antibiotics.

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a phenomenon that has increased considerably over the years. Currently, the joint work of healthcare personnel has facilitated the implementation of measures to combat AMR and ensure the correct use of antibiotics. Through our educational outline, you will be introduced to antimicrobial resistance and its impact on public health, ways to minimize exposure to antimicrobial agents and the most recent findings in AMR research. Likewise, you will learn about the different types of bacteria, viruses and fungi and how they resist antimicrobial drugs. With this new knowledge, you will be able to identify infections and ways to treat them appropriately to avoid antibiotic resistance.
