Renew your knowledge on the most common infectious diseases in the world such as Mycobacterium ulcerans" 

This postgraduate diploma is oriented to medical professionals specialized in infectious diseases, who seek to expand and update knowledge in this field and incorporate it to the usual clinical practice, either from the point of view of diagnosis, treatment or prevention.

Over time, the grouping of mycobacteria not included in the tuberculosis and leprosy complexes has been referred to by different names. Nowadays, these should be individualized and named according to their scientifically accepted binomial name. In this postgraduate diploma, students will learn about their microbiological characteristics, the main clinical pictures and the different therapeutic options available for the Mycobacterium avium complex and non-tuberculosis mycobacteria such as M. kansasii, M. xenopi, M. scrofulaceum, M. haemophilum, M. ulcerans, M. gordonae and M.genavense.

Likewise, during the 6 months of this online degree, the healthcare professional will deal with the different clinical pictures of other non-tuberculous mycobacteria such as M. abscessus, M. chelonae, M. malmoense or M. simiae for which the highly qualified teaching team with extensive experience in this area will provide the latest studies carried out in this area.

In addition, and despite the fact that leprosy currently has a lower incidence compared to tuberculosis, its presence in much of the world makes necessary the renewal of knowledge in this field by health personnel. In this sense, the postgraduate diploma will address the evolution of the disease and the prevention and control measures.

The course is taught entirely online, providing students with the opportunity to keep abreast of the latest developments in infectious diseases with multimedia content at the forefront of academia and with a learning system, Relearning, which will allow healthcare professionals to update all their knowledge in a simple and agile way.
