A complete program that will update you in the management of inflammatory digestive diseases based on the latest advances and scientific findings”

The Master's Degree in Inflammatory Diseases for Digestive Medicine not only emphasizes the clinical data of the disease, but also the day-to-day management of the patient, and factors that make the evolution of a chronic disease such as inflammatory bowel disease different depending on nutritional, psychological aspects, management of complications or at different stages of life.

Addressing these issues makes this program different from other programs based on a mere incidence on clinical data, and makes the orientation much more practical and directed towards a multidisciplinary management with a joint vision of the patient.

This degree not only focuses on organizing the knowledge of clinical aspects, laboratory, radiological, endoscopic and treatment aspects, but it also focuses on factors that may not be specific to the disease itself, but that may have an impact on its evolution, management and quality of life. Among these are the nutritional aspects, both as a promoter of the disease as well as the nutritional management of these patients.

On the other hand, the content of this Master's Degree focuses on the field of inflammatory bowel disease in pediatrics, which is very different from that of adults. Similarly, the program delves into the management of patients in special situations, such as pregnancy, lactation or the need for vaccine protection, being especially practical in the knowledge of psychological aspects in inflammatory bowel disease. Likewise, a specific section has been designed to describe future scenarios and research, both in etiopathogenesis and in new treatments under development.

Finally, the work of a disciplinary team working side by side with nurses specialized in inflammatory bowel disease will be shown, as well as the development and operation of specific units for the management of this disease, which is a new and little homogenized aspect in daily clinical practice, so it also has a special section in this syllabus.

The resources in which the content of this professional master’s degree is organized are intended to give it a very practical approach, with syllabus organized in module, master classes in videos, as well as resolution of questions and real clinical cases. All of which will be in a 100% online format.
