Thanks to this professional master’s degree, you will update on antibiotic therapy by becoming familiar with the most important advances in antibiotic resistance, and you will be able to immediately apply this knowledge to daily practice” 

Antimicrobial resistance has become one of the greatest threats to public health today. Faced with this reality, efforts are focused on finding an answer to the cause and on developing new antibiotics while reducing costs.

Precisely because of this new reality where treatment against increasingly resistant bacteria is of particular concern, laboratories are under greater pressure to combat this danger, which requires pharmacists to continuously update their knowledge in the area, to keep abreast of both progress and the latest recommendations in the use of antituberculosis or respiratory quinolones. For this reason, TECH has created an academic program that brings together a specialized and multidisciplinary teaching team, which will provide professionals with the latest information available on the matter.

Pharmacists are, therefore, presented with a program that will teach them the progress and latest developments in microbiology, antibiotics, antiparasitics or the development of antibiotic resistance in only four months’ time. For this purpose, the syllabus takes a theoretical-practical approach and includes multimedia resources and the latest technology applied to academic teaching.

TECH offers a quality academic program, where professionals will be able to update their knowledge in Advances in Antibiotic Therapy and Antibiotic Resistance. Students can conveniently take it from a computer or tablet with an Internet connection, as they will find the program syllabus on the virtual campus. Thus, without face-to-face classes or fixed schedules, professionals can distribute the course load as they wish, while balancing their other responsibilities with an educational experience adapted to the times.
