The new scenarios in emergency medicine push us to propose new specialization programs that meet the real needs of experienced professionals, so that they can incorporate advances in Disaster Management into their daily practice"

Industrialization and technological development increase the probability of these disasters occurring. Terrorism, armed conflicts and seismic and climatological phenomena claim thousands of victims around the world every year.
