The perfect program to update you on new developments in the field of emergency psychology applied to the medical field"

Medical professionals dedicate their activity to try to ensure the health of all their patients. Among the aspects that must be considered, in addition to physical integrity, is mental stability, which requires careful management to avoid negative psychological consequences that affect their cognitive-behavioral development. When an emergency situation occurs (a catastrophe, an accident, a sudden death, etc.) this aspect becomes particularly vulnerable, since the after-effects of a traumatic impact can lead to very serious mental consequences such as depression or anxiety, also favoring the appearance of pathologies affecting other parts of the body such as the cardiopulmonary, digestive or neurophysiological systems.

Based on this, the management of the main psychosocial support strategies in crisis contexts has become a skill that the physician must manage in order to guarantee an even more complete and beneficial assistance to the victims involved. For this reason, you can count on this postgraduate certificate to update your knowledge. Over 150 hours, you will be able to enjoy a qualification created by experts in psychology and adapted to the field of medical intervention, which includes the latest information related to the phases of the action, the agents involved and the most effective techniques and protocols for its management.
