Numerous pieces of scientific evidence have implicated the intestinal microbiome and its metabolic potential in various pathological conditions in recent years, giving rise to new therapeutic strategies to control and regulate this ecosystem. The study of this ecosystem is a field that is rapidly advancing scientifically, and it is universally accepted that to achieve an adequate state of health it is also necessary to have a "healthy" Microbiota.

Our Microbiota undergoes changes as a consequence of the influence of multiple factors, diet, lifestyle, pharmacological treatments... generating alterations in this bacterial ecosystem; this abnormal interaction that the organism could have with it is related to certain processes: allergic, acute and chronic intestinal diseases, obesity and metabolic syndrome, neurological diseases, dermatitis and other alterations in the dermis and even some types of cancer.

The increasing availability on the market of new products with very specific strains for very specific problems and diseases makes it necessary for nursing professionals to be up to date with all the scientific advances in this area in order to offer patients more specialized and higher-quality care.

Therefore, from this professional master’s degree in Human Microbiota for Nursing, the best professionals will focus on offering the latest information to nursing professionals on the importance of flora to maintain a healthy state, and provide them with the most recent studies, which will allow them to expand their knowledge on the benefits and applications of the Human Microbiota for Nursing in their daily clinical practice.

A program without face-to-face classes or fixed schedules, which also gives the professional the freedom to access the syllabus from an electronic device with internet connection and distribute the teaching load according to their needs. Students are therefore faced with a university education that is compatible with the most demanding responsibilities.

Professional Master's Degree in Human Microbiota in Nursing

The applied study of the microbiome in the improvement of health is a field in constant theoretical and practical growth. Therefore, taking into account that in TECH Global University one of our main objectives is to accompany the processes of professional specialization, we have created this program focused on the composition, classification, functioning and factors that affect the balance-imbalance of microorganisms in the human body. Over the course of the year-long Postgraduate Certificate, students will learn about the physiology and metagenomics of the digestive, respiratory and immune systems (general and cutaneous) and the genitourinary tract, and then delve into the relationship between alterations in the microbiota and intolerances, allergies and infections. Once these bases have been mastered, they will be immersed in recent lines of research, as well as in the clinical applications of probiotic and prebiotic treatments. The thematic path proposed by the Professional Master's Degree enables the nurse in the early recognition of the modification of the bacterial balance and its proper stabilization, in order to ensure the maintenance of a good state of health.

Postgraduate Course in Human Microbiota for Nursing

With this TECH postgraduate course, health professionals will be able to acquire skills in the clinical approach to various diseases through microbiological therapy. From the analysis of microorganisms, it is possible to establish the types of interactions that they maintain with pathologies of digestive or autoimmune nature, which favors the development of complete differential diagnoses, which serve as a basis for an appropriate medical prescription. Our methodology of case analysis and problem-based learning not only facilitates the acquisition of such knowledge, but also allows students to face all types of medical conditions, where they will have to coordinate their skills and mobilize what they have learned. Thus, at the end of the program, students will be able to, at the beginning, develop their skills in daily practice, making sure to provide comprehensive care to their patients through the constant evaluation of potential risks and adverse effects caused by pathologies and treatments. Subsequently, at a later stage, he/she will be able to design and manage strategic prevention campaigns that socialize the causes and consequences of alterations in bacterial ecosystems.
