You will be updated on the toxicokinetics of the various toxic agents present in the industrial environment to attend the patient in an adequate way, from the emergency room"

The number of workers at risk of presenting an occupational poisoning is high, since more than a quarter of them are exposed to chemicals in their workplace and around 17% handle them directly. In this sense, the presentation of the clinical cases of some workers who presented poisonings in relation to their work activity can help to be more aware of this health problem in daily practice, therefore  they will be reviewed in this program.

A syllabus that brings together the most updated topics regarding the assessment of the poisoned patient. From the review of toxicology in its historical context, with the use of this type of substances from the Bronze Age to the Contemporary Age. Therefore, the professional will be updated on the diagnostic and therapeutic methods in cases of industrial poisoning by gases, solvents and heavy metals.

The student will be able to understand the different clinical manifestations and the diagnosis of suspicion or confirmation in this type of medical emergencies. From the hand of the most specialized teachers who will provide, from their own experience and the latest scientific evidence, the most relevant examples and contents, to obtain interesting conclusions and aspects to remember in each of the learning modules. 

As it is a 100% online program, the professional will be able to define their best study schedule and combine it with their current agenda, without complications. From the comfort of their home or office, from the device of their choice, they can review the videos in detail, complementary readings, Testing and Retesting, quick action guides, among other resources available 24 hours a day for consultation or download. In this way, they will reach their new academic goal in only 6 months.
