Introduction to the Program

Esta Postgraduate diploma permitirá al farmacéutico especializarse con éxito en todo lo referente a las enfermedades que están presentes de las infecciones”

Para cumplir con las necesidades sanitarias del siglo XXI, es preciso que los profesionales de la farmacia estén al tanto de los avances en los cuidados de los enfermos. En este caso, destacan los casos de infecciones vinculadas a diferentes enfermedades, que afectan cada año a millones de personas en todo el mundo.

En el control de las infecciones se ha convertido en una gran dificultad, sobre todo por los problemas derivados de la resistencia a los antimicrobianos, que ha ocasionado que patologías que tenían una fácil curación, estén siendo más complicadas, con las consecuencias que ello conlleva, tanto en los enfermos como económicas, al alargarse con costes de los tratamientos.

Además, en los últimos años han surgido varias enfermedades infecciosas nuevas de elevada morbilidad, lo que obliga a un nivel importante de actualización. Por ello, los farmacéutico deben seguir su capacitación con programas docentes como el que presenta en esta ocasión, que se adentra en la microbiología de las enfermedades infecciosas, teniendo en cuenta las características que permiten el desarrollo de las infecciones en los diferentes continentes.

Así mismo, la Postgraduate diploma podrá profundizar sus conocimientos en la relación que existe entre el desarrollo de ciertas infecciones con los pacientes de cáncer o con enfermedades crónicas, así como los microorganismos multirresistentes. También es destacable la formación en infecciones raras que, aunque sean frecuentes en países concretos, principales en zonas en desarrollo, pueden llegar a cualquier parte del mundo, favorecidos por el turismo.
