A program specialized in Viral, Bacterial and Fungal Infection, where you will update your knowledge of the most effective treatments for each of them in a 100% online format” 

The variety of microorganisms that exist in nature can cause serious infections if they invade human tissues. When these microbes come into contact, for example, with the skin or body mucosa, they release a series of toxins that generate the development of adverse conditions for the host's health. The most common pathologies are viral (caused by viruses), bacterial (caused by bacteria) and fungal (caused by fungi), and although the symptoms and severity presented by each are diverse, special attention must be paid to all of them to avoid the development of potential comorbidities, especially in immunocompromised patients for whom sepsis can cause death.  

In view of this, TECH and its team versed in microbiology and infectious diseases in clinical practice have developed a complete program for medical specialists to have access to the latest and most exhaustive information on the epidemiology and clinical management of these pathogens. The program consists of 525 hours of the best theoretical, practical and additional material, so our students can delve into the advances in food-borne infections, viral hemorrhagic fevers and arbovirosis, mycobacteriosis and pathologies caused by anaerobes, and mycosis and parasitosis in the specialty of infectious diseases.  

All this in a 6-month, 100% online format where our students will have access to a state-of-the-art Virtual Campus that will contain all the content from the beginning of the program. They be able to tailor the academic experience based on their absolute availability, without worrying about fixed schedules or face-to-face classes. Moreover, the platform is compatible with any device with an Internet connection, so they can take on the course load from wherever and whenever they wish. That way, the knowledge update will be perfectly compatible with professional practice, so our students will have the time to hone their medical skills to continue offering high-level clinical service. 

You will work intensively to completely update your knowledge of food-borne infections”
