Knowing the peculiarities of the emergency department will be fundamental for your professional development in this area, but, above all, for adult and pediatric patient specialized care” 

Healthcare in emergency situations is more complex than in other areas, since, given each patient's situation, the first intervention and diagnosis may be complicated. The sick or injured person in need of urgent or emergency care presents acute symptoms, in various forms, which change and evolve in a short period of time. They could be fighting for their lives, depending on which organs are affected, and they may need rapid response care to be saved.  

Moreover, the organization of services for patient care in urgent and emergency situations often differentiates between adults and children, which explains why students can find different programs to specialize in emergency nursing. However, this has also created a need for those professionals who are looking for comprehensive, useful and relevant specialization to be able to intervene in all types of patients.  

To this end, this program compiles the best of emergency nursing studies, urgent response and catastrophes, as well as the most relevant aspects of pediatric emergencies for nurses, so that they acquire a global and specialized knowledge of the factors that can affect all patients. Specifically, it presents the means and equipment available for urgent interventions, their applications and complications so that they can be used appropriately in each emergency situation, including basic and advanced life support, which is essential for critical patients. Furthermore, taking into account the current COVID-19 pandemic, the program includes a specific syllabus to explain its microbiological characteristics, diagnostic tests and treatments, as well as ways of intervening in coronavirus patients.   

It should be noted that this program is totally different from others that can be found on the market, since it places experience as the foundation of the theory, providing global and sufficient knowledge to practice.

When pediatric patients get to the emergency room, they require specialized care that you will learn about by studying this Advanced Master's Degree”
