A Professional master’s degree created to take professionals through the essential knowledge in each and every one of the areas that make up a high-level Bariatric Unit”

This Professional master’s degree in Update on Bariatric Surgery not only covers all the controversial topics in the field of obesity surgery but rather extends the contents of other similar Update on Bariatric Surgery. Therefore, it is undoubtedly the most complete and updated Professional master’s degree on the market.  
 
Among the the aspects which differentiate this course from others, there is a module dedicated to endoscopic and percutaneous treatments, the management and treatment of bariatric emergencies, the follow-up and nutritional requirements of the patient in the postoperative period, and a module related to metabolic surgery. 
 
In the past few years, we have seen the emergence of multiple new endoscopic and percutaneous treatments aimed at treating obesity and the associated complications, but its actual usefulness is relatively unknown.  The Master’s Degree aims to provide up-to-date information on the different alternatives to endoscopic obesity treatment that currently exist. The main focus is on technical aspects and on the existing evidence in the literature on its clinical utility, both in the primary treatment of obesity and in its therapeutic role in weight regain, or in the management of post-surgical complications.
 
The peculiarities of morbidly obese patient in postoperative care, which differentiate them from standard postoperative patients, have led to the creation of a module exclusively dedicated to the management of postoperative emergencies in this type of patient. This module is of extreme importance due to the legal implications involved. Although postoperative complications are infrequent these days, ignoring these peculiarities can lead to a fatal outcome for the patient. Therefore, it is essential that every surgeon who wants to enter into a multidisciplinary bariatric surgery unit has knowledge of these.  
 
What differentiates this course from other master’s degrees on the market, is the focus on the follow-up treatment and nutritional needs of a bariatric patient during the postoperative period. The bariatric surgeon must know how to appropriately monitor their patients, know how to identify and correlate the patient’s symptoms with possible nutritional deficits and to adopt the appropriate therapeutic measures in each case. 
 
Metabolic Surgery is no less important. Metabolic surgery consists of the application of the classic surgical techniques of bariatric surgery to patients with a mild obesity index (BMI < 35) or significant obesity (BMI 35-40) who suffer from type II diabetes mellitus and who are unable to achieve the desired blood glucose levels despite adequate medical treatment. The module not only describes the current scientific evidence of metabolic surgery but also describes the pathophysiological basis of metabolic syndrome, the pathophysiology of diabetes and its therapeutic alternatives, but also controversial aspects such as the role of microbiota, loop lengths, bile acids, NASH, bone metabolism, and the role of bariatric surgery on hypogonadism and polycystic ovary syndrome.
 
Finally, it is important to highlight the chapter on the Creation of Behavioral Therapy Programs for the maintenance of weight loss after surgery. The aspects related to aesthetic and body contouring surgery are of great interest to our patients, as well as the importance of the impact of physical training programs in the maintenance of weight loss before and after bariatric surgery. Together with behavioral therapy, these seem to be the two most important aspects for achieving and maintaining body weight after bariatric surgery.
 
In order to achieve the teaching objectives, this program has different didactic resources: self-assessment activities, video lectures explaining the most complex points of the subject, clinical cases, videos on the techniques used showing practical procedures and recommended readings.

A unique training that stands out for the quality of its contents and its excellent teaching staff, with which you will achieve professional success.
