A course created for the medical professional, which will allow you to learn about the active principles of phytotherapy, its pharmaceutical forms and the most interesting and useful galenic preparations"

There is now a scientific basis supporting the efficacy of many phytotherapeutic products for certain indications. The place that Phytotherapy should occupy in therapeutics should be that for which it has demonstrated its usefulness and safety. 

Efficacy is achieved only with the proper use of phytotherapeutic preparations, both in terms of indications and form of administration. 

This program offers a current vision of Phytotherapy and its application in the health field, including the latest contributions and advances. The contents are guaranteed by the teaching staff involved in the postgraduate certificate, since in one way or another they all work in the field of phytotherapy or are related to it. 

Thus, the student will learn based on the experience of the teachers and experience evidence-based medicine, which results in training the student to be more effective and accurate. 

Taking into account that, on the one hand, the different university format programs generally lack a deep and continuously updated training in Phytotherapy, and on the other hand, that current health trends lean towards the use of safe and effective natural remedies, it is necessary to be able to offer students the possibility of expanding their knowledge and therapeutic skills with a greater specialization in the use of medicinal plants, from the professional and academic side necessary to adequately face their future in this field.

A complete course created with the best learning systems of the moment, which will propel you to a much higher level of competitiveness"

Our teaching staff is composed of medical professionals, practising specialists. In this way, we ensure that we provide you with the training update we are aiming for. A multidisciplinary team of doctors trained and experienced in different environments, who will develop the theoretical knowledge in an efficient way, but, above all, will put at the service of the postgraduate certificate practical knowledge derived from their own experience: one of the differential qualities of this training. 

This mastery of the subject is complemented by the effectiveness of the methodological design of this postgraduate certificate. Developed by a multidisciplinary team of e-learning experts, it integrates the latest advances in educational technology. This way, you will be able to study with a range of comfortable and versatile multimedia tools that will give you the operability you need in your training.  

The design of this program is based on Problem-Based Learning: an approach that conceives learning as a highly practical process. To achieve this remotely, we will use telepractice:  with the help of an innovative interactive video system, and learning from an expert, you will be able to acquire the knowledge as if you were actually dealing with the scenario you are learning about. A concept that will allow you to integrate and fix learning in a more realistic and permanent way. 

With a methodological design based on proven teaching techniques, this postgraduate certificate will take you through different teaching approaches to allow you to learn in a dynamic and effective way"
