Caring for patients with infectious diseases is a challenge for all healthcare professionals involved. Specialize with us and achieve success
in your interventions"

The objective of this postgraduate certificate in Infectious Diseases and Microbiology in the Emergency Department for Nursing is to train health professionals in this field, so that they are able to offer more personalized care to patients with these pathologies. For this, TECH has a team of experts with extensive professional and teaching experience, who can provide students with all their knowledge in a didactic way to promote their learning. 

To this end, it is necessary to take into account that, in addition to the classic infectious pathologies, in recent years there have been entities with a great impact on public health and of great complexity in their management, such as infection by the human immunodeficiency virus, the increase in bacterial resistance, infection in the context of patients with iatrogenic immunosuppression, or the exponential increase in imported tropical infectious diseases in our environment.
 
All this makes it necessary for nurses to specialize and be up to date in the main developments related to the field of infectology, especially in the work of Emergency Departments, since work in this area can be complex as it is outside a specialized unit, as well as determinant in improving the patient's health.

One of the advantages of this program is that, as it is a 100% online training, the professionals will be able to decide when and from where to study, without commitments or obligations, thus being able to combine their study time with the rest of their daily obligations.

Superior training for high-level professionals who want to give a plus in the care of their patients"

This postgraduate certificate in Infectious Diseases and Microbiology in the Emergency Department for Nursing contains the most complete and up-to-date scientific program on the market. The most outstanding features of this program are:

• The development of clinical cases presented by experts in infectious diseases and microbiology
• The graphic, schematic, and eminently practical contents with which they are created provide scientific and practical information on the disciplines that are essential for professional
• Therapeutic developments on the intervention in Infectious Diseases
• Practical exercises where to carry out the self-assessment process to improve learning
• An algorithm-based interactive learning system for decision-making in the clinical situations presented throughout the course
• Its special emphasis on research methodologies
• Theoretical lessons, questions to the expert, debate forums on controversial topics, and individual reflection assignments
• Content that is accessible from any fixed or portable device with an Internet connection

This postgraduate certificate is the best investment you can make in the selection of a refresher program for two reasons: in addition to updating your knowledge in Infectious Diseases and Microbiology in the Emergency Department, you will obtain a certificate from the largest Digital University in the world: TECH

Its teaching staff includes professionals belonging to the field of Infectious Diseases and Microbiology in the Emergency Department, who bring to this training the experience of their work, in addition to recognized specialists from leading scientific societies.

The multimedia content, developed with the latest educational technology, will provide the professional with situated and contextual learning, i.e., a simulated environment that will provide an immersive training experience designed to train for real-life situations.

The design of this program focuses on Problem-Based Learning, through which the nurse must try to solve the different professional practice situations that arise throughout the Postgraduate Certificate. To do so, the professional will be assisted by an innovative interactive video system developed by recognized experts in the field of Infectious Diseases and Microbiology in the Emergency Department, with extensive teaching experience.
