Introduction to the Program
Con este programa 100% online, adquirirás competencias en la identificación y análisis de patrones de enfermedades, la implementación de estrategias de prevención de brotes y la gestión de emergencias sanitarias”
La pandemia de COVID-19 ha subrayado la importancia crítica de sistemas de vigilancia robustos y en tiempo real, que permiten la detección temprana de brotes y la implementación rápida de medidas de control. Al mismo tiempo, la cooperación internacional y el intercambio de datos se han vuelto esenciales para abordar amenazas globales a la salud.
Así nace este programa, que ofrecerá a los farmacéuticos una comprensión profunda de los principios fundamentales de protección y prevención en salud. De esta forma, se abarcará la vigilancia epidemiológica, la evaluación, gestión, control y comunicación de riesgos, proporcionando herramientas esenciales para la práctica profesional. Además, se examinarán sistemas de autocontrol y vigilancia mediante el análisis de peligros y la identificación de puntos críticos de control.
Asimismo, se analizará la epidemiología y los factores de riesgo asociados con enfermedades como el Cáncer y las Enfermedades Cardiovasculares, así como su prevención primaria y secundaria. Igualmente, se proporcionará una base sólida para la detección de enfermedades raras y la implementación de programas de cribado neonatal.
Finalmente, se desarrollará la capacidad de los profesionales para identificar y describir los componentes principales de los estudios de intervención, evaluando su calidad y metodología. Los farmacéuticos también podrán analizar ensayos clínicos pragmáticos y explicativos, incluyendo las distintas fases del diseño de estudios de validez de pruebas diagnósticas. Sin pasar por alto la importancia de la calidad y corrección metodológica en los estudios de factores pronósticos, introduciendo además la seguridad del paciente como un concepto clave en la asistencia 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. Adicionalmente, se ha integrado una metodología de aprendizaje revolucionaria llamada Relearning, que implica la revisión de conceptos esenciales para lograr una comprensión más sólida de los contenidos.
