Learning to manage patients' Pain is one of the most significant challenges for doctors"

This professional master’s degree has been designed by anesthesiologists with extensive experience in both acute and chronic pain management in daily clinical practice, so students can develop a global vision of the clinical problem of pain in our environment. 

Therefore, with this training it is possible to establish the anatomopathological and pathophysiological bases required to understand the mechanisms of pain, as well as its evolution. It also provides knowledge and tools to diagnose and manage postoperative and chronic pain correctly, as well as major challenges such as complex regional pain syndrome, oncologic pain, or neuropathic pain.

The professional master’s degree addresses aspects related to the management of acute perioperative pain, taking into account the diversity of the population groups to be treated, such as pediatric patients, elderly patients, obstetric patients, or patients with various morbidities. It also addresses pain management in different surgical fields, such as abdominal, thoracic and cardiac surgery, or major outpatient surgery (MOS), a growing modality of care that requires post-surgical pain control in the out-of-hospital setting. 

After completing and passing the professional master’s degree, students will have acquired the theoretical knowledge necessary to carry out an effective approach to pain in the main fields of action of the anesthesiologist.
