Improve your knowledge through this program, where you will find the best didactic material with real clinical cases. Learn here about the latest advances in the specialty to be able to perform a quality medical practice"

Infectiology is constantly undergoing changes. At the epidemiological level, with the emergence or re-emergence of certain diseases that are unknown or have little practice (zika, chikungunya, hemorrhagic fevers, among others), others that have fallen into oblivion or are unknown to younger physicians such as diphtheria, measles, whooping cough or flaccid paralysis associated with the polio vaccine virus. 

At the therapeutic level, the emergence of resistance (BLEES, MRSA, carbapenem-resistant enterobacteria, etc.), often caused by our unwise and rational use of drugs, creates problems for the clinician when it comes to initial empirical treatment in certain situations. 

At the diagnostic level, the increasingly frequent availability of new techniques allows a more rapid etiological diagnosis or by complementary techniques that require clinical diagnostic orientation such as ultrasound, computed tomography or magnetic resonance imaging. Without forgetting the support that the clinician has in laboratory tests that determine acute phase reactants such as procalcitonin or C-reactive protein, which are sometimes given excessive importance, forgetting that we treat patients and not laboratory results.

All this means that, in order to attend these patients with the maximum guarantee, the clinician must maintain a continuous specialization, even if they are not a specialist, since, as we have mentioned, the percentage of visits or interconsultations related to the infection is very high. If we add to this the increasing amount of information provided by parents, sometimes not always contrasted, professional updating becomes essential to be able to provide adequate information according to the current scientific evidence at all times.

This postgraduate certificate in Therapeutics and Prevention in Pediatric Infectology is the most comprehensive and up-to-date educational program on the market. The most important features of the course university are:

• Clinical cases presented by experts in infectology. The graphic, schematic, and eminently practical contents with which they are created, provide scientific and practical information on the disciplines that are essential for professional practice
• Diagnostic and therapeutic novelties on Therapeutics and Prevention in Pediatric Infectious Diseases
• An algorithm-based interactive learning system for decision-making in the clinical situations presented throughout the course
• With a special emphasis on evidence-based medicine and research methodologies in Therapeutics and Prevention in Pediatric Infectious Diseases
• All of this will be complemented by theoretical lessons, questions to the expert, debate forums on controversial topics, and individual reflection assignments
• Content that is accessible from any fixed or portable device with an Internet connection

This postgraduate certificate may be the best investment you can make when choosing an up-to-date program for two reasons: in addition to updating your knowledge in Therapeutics and Prevention in Pediatric Infectology, you will obtain a certificate from TECH Technological University"

Forming part of the teaching staff is a group of professionals in the world of Pediatric Infectology, who bring to this course their work experience, as well as a group of renowned specialists, recognised by esteemed scientific communities.

The multimedia content developed with the latest educational technology will provide the professional with situated and contextual learning, i.e., a simulated environment that will provide immersive training program to train in real situations.

This program is designed around Problem Based Learning, whereby the Doctor must try to solve the different professional practice situations that arise during the course university. For this reason, you will be assisted by an innovative, interactive video system created by recognized experts in the field of infectious diseases and with great teaching experience.

The postgraduate certificate includes real clinical cases and exercises to bring the development of the postgraduate certificate closer to the clinical doctor´s practice.

Take the opportunity to update your knowledge in Pediatric Infectious Diseases and improve your patient care.
