Correct nutrition in burn patients will allow medium and long-term improvements to be achieved. Therefore, physicians should take into account the main nutrients needed by these patients"

Nutrition is a relevant aspect to achieve medium- and long-term improvements in patients with different pathologies, although sometimes it is not given enough importance. For this reason, and with the aim of training physicians in this field, this postgraduate certificate presents the most up-to-date knowledge on nutrition and its benefits in patients with severe burns.  

In some cases, as in the case of trace element and vitamin requirements, there are no studies that provide the minimum necessary requirements, so the most recent studies are discussed, and a proposal is made. Related to these issues, healthcare providers encounter attempts to modulate the hypermetabolic response, add anabolic and other treatments. For this purpose, this postgraduate certificate has the most relevant information on the latest related studies. Likewise, the bone and muscle effects will be shown, to finish this training with rehabilitation, which is fundamental in each and every moment of the evolution. 

In addition to the complete and fully up-to-date information, it offers the greatest experience from the teaching staff in the treatment of this type of patient. This experience is very valuable since there are very few burn units and, therefore, the possibility of specializing in them is scarce. As a main advantage, it is a 100% online specialization, so the student can decide from where to study and at what time to do it, in this way, they can flexibly self-direct their study hours.
