Home care and the clinical management that comes with it requires physiotherapy professionals to acquire a series of skills to take on these tasks successfully” 

Home hospitalization allows for a more personalized patient treatment, especially when patients are in a comfort zone for them, but it also reduces congestion in healthcare centers, as it is no longer necessary for these patients to travel to hospitals to continue their treatment.

The aging population is increasing the number of cases of chronic and degenerative diseases that, thanks to technological advances, can be treated at home, with the consequent displacement of physiotherapists to their homes. For this reason, it is necessary for health professionals to know the different cases that can be found in these patients and how to carry out their care outside the walls of hospital centers, where they do not have all the equipment and facilities that these places offer.

Home Hospitalization is the driving force of change in modern healthcare with care focused on people and their health and social needs.

This program is focused on deepening the understanding of all aspects which make home hospitalization unique and different from other medical specialties in healthcare. It also demonstrates the weaknesses and future opportunities we have ahead of us, making the most of new educative technology available.

The syllabus is rigorously organized with the latest scientific evidence and clinical cases that will allow students to advance their knowledge, focusing on the treatment of infections, palliative care in oncology patients, as well as pain management and nutrition, but with special emphasis on physiotherapy care.
