Why study at TECH?
Thanks to this Professional master’s degree and its 100% online methodology, you will deepen in the design of therapeutic plans in the hospital context involving the most advanced pharmacological products”
Antibiotic resistance is one of the main concerns for healthcare professionals and in particular for those dedicated to Hospital Pharmacy. For this reason, experts dedicated to this area must have a thorough mastery of the principles of pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of these products, allowing them to make more precise recommendations on their use according to the patient's health conditions. In turn, the drugs in this family are continuously evolving to provide more specific therapeutic solutions that reduce their harmful impact on the intestinal flora, among other side effects. Also, specialized pharmacists must manage complementary methods that do not involve this type of products.
Based on all these needs, TECH has designed a Professional master’s degree where students will have the opportunity to update their theoretical and practical knowledge on the most disruptive topics in Hospital Pharmacy. The syllabus delves into different products and updated drug administration techniques for cardiovascular, respiratory or neurological pathologies.
