Healthcare professionals must be specifically prepared to act in an emergency situation in order to maintain the level of quality and safety in patient care. Adequate updating becomes an indispensable tool to ensure safe and efficient care. They must be prepared to identify and deal with any critical situation they encounter quickly, with full capacity to plan, manage and apply the necessary health resources at the different levels of medical care. This includes patient care processes involving patients with emergency conditions, emergency situations, as well as incidents of special operational difficulty, whether they are the result of an accident with multiple victims, seismic or climatological phenomena, or even war or terrorism.

The medicine applied in emergency situations must also contemplate a wide knowledge of the available means and equipment, their applications and complications, so that they can be used in each specific situation. For this reason, an adequate updating of knowledge requires a comprehensive approach to techniques, procedures and application regulations, a complete and exhaustive training program that becomes an essential tool to identify and deal with any critical situation, especially in circumstances 
of special operational difficulty.

This includes disaster situations, where material and human resources become insufficient, infrastructures are severely damaged, and the number and severity of patients generate particularly critical situations. These features call for a specific and in-depth approach to management, organization and health care in adverse circumstances. Catastrophic events in the recent past show the importance of having health professionals with specialized training to be able to provide care in particularly serious circumstances.
This program provides students with the knowledge and skills required to provide emergency health care quickly, efficiently and safely. Tools that will allow you to properly assess emergency patients, to know and apply the appropriate procedures in each situation, or to become familiar with the drugs frequently used in critical situations. All this through the most up-to-date training program, including the latest developments in coronavirus infections.

A unique, key, and decisive educational experience to boost your professional development” 

Professional Master's Degree in Emergency Medicine

Patients in serious situations, as a result of circumstances related to terrorism, war conflicts, seismic and climatological phenomena, traffic accidents, among others, require specialized care by health professionals. However, without prior education it is not possible to provide this type of services, so TECH Global University developed a Professional Master's Degree in Emergency. Its purpose is to provide doctors with the tools, skills, abilities and knowledge to respond correctly to situations in which the patient's life may be compromised and different organs affected.

The most up-to-date Professional Master's Degree

Through a syllabus divided into ten content modules, taken over twelve months, students of the Professional Master's Degree in Emergency Medicine at the TECH's Faculty of Medicine will be able to learn about emergency services, medical transport, incidents with multiple victims and even the care of coronavirus infections, among other topics. Therefore, medical professionals will be prepared to differentiate the concepts of emergencies, disasters and catastrophes, describe the main characteristics of medical transport, its pathophysiology and the different transport devices, and prioritize, organize and manage care in a more effective way through triage.
