Introduction to the Program
A través de esta Postgraduate diploma 100% online, adquirirás competencias en el uso de tecnologías y métodos de vigilancia epidemiológica, permitiéndote desempeñar un papel crucial en la prevención y control de enfermedades”
La Public Health Surveillance desempeña un papel fundamental en la protección y promoción del bienestar de la sociedad. Y es que, al monitorear y analizar datos relacionados con la salud de la población, esta disciplina permite detectar y responder de manera temprana a amenazas emergentes.
Así nace esta Postgraduate diploma en Public Health Surveillance, en el que los médicos explorarán los principios esenciales de la vigilancia epidemiológica, incluyendo la evaluación, gestión y comunicación de riesgos. En este sentido, profundizarán en la investigación en prevención primaria para enfermedades crónicas e interpretarán datos epidemiológicos relacionados con la salud ambiental, dominando sistemas innovadores de control en farmacovigilancia y vigilancia internacional de enfermedades.
Asimismo, se analizará tanto la epidemiología como la prevención de enfermedades transmisibles y no transmisibles. Desde la comprensión de los factores de riesgo del Cáncer, hasta la utilidad de las vacunas en la prevención de Enfermedades Infecciosas, se ofrecerá una visión integral de las estrategias para abordar diversas condiciones de Salud Pública. Además, se abordará la promoción del envejecimiento saludable, la detección de enfermedades raras y la identificación de las principales enfermedades transmisibles.
Finalmente, se desarrollará la capacidad de diseñar y evaluar estudios de intervención, así como de comprender la calidad metodológica de los mismos. Desde la importancia de la seguridad del paciente, hasta la implementación de estrategias basadas en la evidencia científica para la evaluación de los planes de Salud Pública, los profesionales aplicarán conocimientos rigurosos y actualizados en la mejora continua de la Salud Pública y la atención sanitaria.
Así, se ha diseñado un programa en línea de excelente calidad, con el propósito de satisfacer las necesidades individuales del alumnado y eliminar los problemas asociados, como trasladarse a un campus físico y adaptarse a horarios fijos.
