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 on the program, since they have all worked in the field of Phytotherapy, or in a related one, in some way, shape or form. Thus, students will learn based on our professors’ experience and on evidence-based medicine, resulting in an effective and precise specialization for students.
