The new scenarios in intensive care medicine push us to propose new training programs that meet the real needs of experienced professionals, so that they can incorporate advances in clinical practice in the face of severe neurological pathologies"

Neurological pathology represents a large part of the activity in an Intensive Care Unit but, usually, the critical situation of the patient prevents the systematic examination required in the outpatient, being the objective of the intensivist physician to establish the severity of the patient, locate the injured encephalic area and make urgent diagnostic or therapeutic decisions.

On the other hand, the innumerable variables that can influence severe traumatic disease during its evolution complicate the management of this disease and require multidisciplinary assessment and treatment, thus requiring the presence of a specialist in Intensive Care Medicine as a fundamental part of the severe trauma care team and its subsequent care in the critical care unit.

This postgraduate diploma in Current Management of Neurology and Severe Trauma in Intensive Care Medicine is oriented to update the knowledge of the specialist physician who develops his clinical practice in the Intensive Care Unit.

Scientific evidence increases the quality of medical care. Staying up-to-date is key to providing better care for patients in life-threatening emergencies due to major trauma in the intensive care unit"

The postgraduate diploma in Current Management of Neurology and Severe Trauma in Intensive Care Medicine contains the most complete and updated scientific program on the market. The most important features of the program include:
