Description

The serious consequences of respiratory diseases force physicians to constantly update their knowledge. Enroll in the program now and get the necessary knowledge to provide better care praxis”

Physicians specialized in pulmonological diseases must have exhaustive knowledge of the most common pathologies in order to provide the most updated treatments that favor patient recovery. Among these pathologies is Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), which is characterized by a chronic persistent airflow limitation caused by the inhalation of harmful particles, mainly tobacco smoke, and which is accompanied by respiratory symptoms and systemic manifestations. The social impact of the disease is notorious, since it is one of the three leading causes of death worldwide and, despite its high prevalence, there are significant failures due to under-diagnosis.

Asthma is a very prevalent disease, as well, more so in first world countries. In Spain, it is estimated that 5% of adults and 10% of children suffer from this pathology. In the last 15-20 years, there has been a significant decrease in mortality and hospitalization rates, thanks to the availability of drugs and better patient care in both primary and specialized units. Despite these advances, only one third of patients are able to keep it under control.

For its part, the study of sleep-disordered breathing has experienced enormous interest in recent years, too. Among them, the most important in terms of morbidity and mortality is Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA), which is considered a major public health problem. In recent years, these disorders have generated an increase in consultations, to such an extent that in some services they already constitute more than 40% of the demand.

Taking all this into account, TECH Global University has designed a postgraduate diploma that focuses precisely on these diseases. Through a complete online syllabus, students will have the opportunity to update their knowledge and put into practice diagnostic techniques and therapies that are currently obtaining the best results.
