Gracias a este programa 100% online, desarrollarás habilidades críticas para identificar y abordar los desafíos sanitarios derivados de factores medioambientales, como la contaminación y el cambio climático”

La Salud Pública está marcada por la creciente preocupación por los efectos del cambio climático en la salud humana. Las olas de calor extremo, la contaminación del aire y la pérdida de biodiversidad están exacerbando Enfermedades Respiratorias y Cardiovasculares, y aumentando la incidencia de Enfermedades Infecciosas. 

Así nace este programa, que analizará la relación entre la alfabetización y la salud. Así, los médicos podrán colaborar con instituciones y organizaciones de salud para integrar la alfabetización en las políticas y programas de Salud Pública. Además, se analizarán los conceptos y fundamentos de la Salutogénesis como enfoque de promoción de la salud, y se compararán diferentes modelos de activos en salud. 

Asimismo, se abordarán los desafíos específicos que enfrentan diversos grupos poblacionales, examinando la salud de los niños y adolescentes, así como las medidas preventivas para mitigar riesgos. También se examinará la influencia del género en la salud y el bienestar, y se fundamentarán los factores que influyen en la salud laboral. Igualmente, se considerarán las necesidades de salud en contextos multiculturales y durante la vejez, promoviendo la capacidad funcional y el bienestar en esta etapa de la vida. 

Finalmente, se profundizará en la interrelación entre la salud y los factores ambientales, aplicando enfoques transversales como “Una Sola Salud” (One Health). En este sentido, se abordarán los riesgos de contaminantes en el agua de consumo y las medidas para garantizar su calidad, así como los peligros de las aguas recreativas y las estrategias preventivas para su uso seguro. 

De esta forma, se ha creado un programa de alta calidad, totalmente en línea, con la intención de atender las necesidades únicas del alumnado y evitar inconvenientes adicionales, como desplazamientos a un campus físico y la necesidad de ajustarse a horarios preestablecidos. Además, se ha incorporado la innovadora metodología de aprendizaje conocida como Relearning, que implica la revisión de conceptos clave para una comprensión más profunda de los contenidos.
