The postgraduate diploma will introduce you to the world of Clinical Infectology of Mycobacteriosis, Mycosis and Parasitosis so that you can advance in your daily practice"

The development and spread of bacterial resistance to antibiotics is one of the main problems of infection control in most countries. Therefore, for example, the emergence of pneumococci resistant to penicillin or enterococci resistant to vancomycin, for example, should be recalled. The multitude of resistance cases has raised alarms about a possible global antibiotic crisis.

Another challenge in relation to infectious diseases is the emergence in recent years of several new diseases with high morbidity. of several new diseases with high morbidity in recent years, which requires an important level of updating in order to prevent new infections and reduce the morbidity figures for infections.  

Therefore, pharmacy professionals, regardless of where they work, can see in this postgraduate diploma the opportunity to take a teaching program that brings together the most advanced and in depth knowledge of the most important health problems in the field of infectious diseases and microbiology, where a group of professors of high scientific rigor and extensive international experience provides the most complete and up to date information on prevention, diagnosis, treatment and care of individual patients and population groups, suffering from the most prevalent and deadly infectious diseases.
