The latest diagnostic and therapeutic advances in Primary Care injuries”

Primary care is the most elementary health care and, at the same time, the most important area for health promotion, disease prevention and control in early stages.

Physiotherapists are part of a multidisciplinary team made up of a wide variety of professionals, so they must know how the system works in order to adapt quickly to it. It is essential, in turn, to master the theoretical-practical content of their specialty in order to deliver effective and quality work.

Each of our professors has a different specialty and training, which, coupled with their experience in the sector, will make the content more varied, adopting different points of view and always oriented toward students expanding their knowledge, regardless of their background.

What makes this program different from the rest is the collaborative work put into the different specialties that make up the theoretical-practical content, including up-to-date studies and analyses in Primary Care.

The program seeks to guide physiotherapists through the functions required in Primary Care, as well as to provide them with therapeutic tools and essential knowledge useful for professional work.
