80 years have passed since the first treatment with penicillin in humans, a drug that changed the course of history"

In the 1940s it was normal to die from a bacterial infection. So much so that a simple cut could become complicated and cause the death of a person. Since the discovery of penicillin, this panorama changed and a process began to develop new antibiotics to combat various pathologies. For this reason, research in antibiotic therapy is very important at present.

Accordingly, this postgraduate certificate will focus on the advances made by the scientific community in the study of antibiotics. We will begin, then, with an analysis of the structure of the beta-lactam ring and the drugs that act to break this chain. We will then proceed to evaluate and analyze the development of various drugs, starting with penicillins.

In each class, the student will have an in-depth study of different antimicrobials, such as Glycopeptides or cyclic Lipopeptides. Finally, the use of parenteral antibiotics in outpatients will be addressed, knowing the main recommendations for their consumption and the follow-up to be carried out to avoid abuse. 

With this postgraduate certificate you will gain an in-depth understanding of how the most commonly used antibiotics work today"

This postgraduate certificate in Advances in Antibiotic Therapy contains the most complete and up-to-date educational program on the market. The most important features include:

• The development of case studies presented by experts focused on advances in antibiotic therapy and antibiotic resistance.
• 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 practice.
• Practical exercises where the process of self-assessment can be used to improve learning
• Its special emphasis on innovative 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 

With this postgraduate certificate you will learn how to reduce antibiotic resistance of future drugs"

The program’s teaching staff includes professionals from the sector who contribute their work experience to this training program, as well as renowned specialists from leading societies and prestigious universities.

Its multimedia content, developed with the latest educational technology, will allow the professional a situated and contextual learning, that is, a simulated environment that will provide an immersive training programmed to train in real situations.

This program is designed around Problem Based Learning, whereby the professional must try to solve the different professional practice situations that arise during the academic year. For this purpose, the student will be assisted by an innovative interactive video system created by renowned and experienced experts.

Update your knowledge in antibiotic therapy by enrolling in this program"

TECH will help you develop professionally in a sector with great international demand"

The main goal of this postgraduate certificate is to provide students with the opportunity to access the latest advances in Antibiotic Therapy. Thanks to the contents and didactic materials, they will be able to learn how antibiotics such as penicillin or batalactamases work. As a result, they will be able to develop independent research to develop new drugs or improve bacterial resistance of circulating drugs.  

Do you want to advance your career? By enrolling in this program you will be able to achieve this in a short period of time"
