With the professional master’s degree in Clinical Infectious Diseases and Antibiotic Therapeutics, you have the opportunity to expand your knowledge comfortably and without sacrificing scientific accuracy, in order to incorporate the latest advances in the approach to infectious diseases into your daily medical practice” 

The complex international epidemiological situation so far this century, highlights the unprecedented need to improve the process of training and development of human capital, in order to increase the competence and performance of all pharmaceutical personnel required to meet the challenges involved in controlling and dealing with biological, hospital and public health emergencies, and that guarantee the quality and safety of health care for the population in any part of the world. This has been exemplified by the deliberate release of Bacillus anthracis spores as a weapon of bioterrorism to cause pulmonary anthrax in victims who inhaled them, the emergence of West Nile virus as a pathogen in the United States, the epidemic of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS), the zoonotic spread of monkeypox in the United States, the threat of pandemic influenza, the Ebola epidemic in Africa, the emergence of yellow fever cases in Angola, coupled with the re-emergence of dengue and cholera, the emergence of new arboviruses in the Americas region, such as Chikingunya and more recently Zika, as well as morbidity from other endemic infectious diseases, such as HIV/AIDS, leptospirosis, tuberculosis, community-acquired pneumonia and the increase in antibiotic resistance with the development of multidrug-resistant bacteria.

The program in Clinical Infectious Diseases and Antibiotic Therapeutics is aimed at increasing the scientific education of pharmacy personnel related to research and issuing of the correct and timely treatment for infectious diseases. The program has a predominantly vocational focus, which favors the acquisition and development of knowledge and skills that will determine an improvement in the quality of pharmaceutical care of patients with infectious diseases, resulting in better morbidity and mortality rates for these pathologies in the population.
