Learn how to perform phytotherapy galenicals safely with the most comprehensive knowledge of active ingredients and pharmaceutical forms"

There is now a scientific basis supporting the efficacy of many phytotherapeutic products for certain indications. The place that phytotherapy should occupy in therapeutics should be that for which it has demonstrated its usefulness and safety.

Efficacy is achieved only with the proper use of phytotherapeutic preparations, both in terms of indications and form of administration.

This program offers a current vision of Phytotherapy and its application in the health field, including the latest contributions and advances. The contents are guaranteed by the teaching staff involved in the postgraduate certificate, since in one way or another they all work in the field of phytotherapy or are related to it. Thus, the student will learn based on the experience of the teachers and experience evidence-based medicine, which results in the student's training to be more effective and accurate. On the one hand, the different university training programs generally suffer from a deep and profound lack of

continuously updated training in Phytotherapy, and on the other hand that current health trends are leaning towards the use of safe and effective natural remedies, it is necessary to be able to offer the student the possibility of expanding their knowledge

and therapeutic skills with a greater specialization in the use of medicinal plants, from the professional and academic perspective necessary to adequately face their future in this field.

A high quality step for the more specialized pharmacy professional"

This postgraduate certificate in Active Principles of Plants, Pharmaceutical Forms and Galenic Preparations offers you the characteristics of a high level scientific, teaching and technological course. These are some of its most notable features:

• Latest technology in online teaching software.
• Highly visual teaching system, supported by graphic and schematic contents that are easy to assimilate and understand. 
• Practical cases presented by practising experts.
• State-of-the-art interactive video systems.
• Teaching supported by telepractice. 
• Continuous updating and recycling systems.
• Self-regulating learning: full compatibility with other occupations.
• Practical exercises for self-evaluation and learning verification.
• Support groups and educational synergies: questions to the expert, debate and knowledge forums.
• Communication with the teacher and individual reflection work.
• Content that is accessible from any fixed or portable device with an Internet connection.
• Supplementary documentation databases are permanently available, even after the course.

Our innovative telepractice concept will give you the opportunity to learn through an immersive experience, which will provide you with a faster integration and a much more realistic view of the contents: “learning from an expert”

Our teaching staff is composed of medical professionals, practising specialists. In this way, we ensure that we provide you with the training update we are aiming for. A multidisciplinary team of doctors trained and experienced in different environments, who will develop the theoretical knowledge in an efficient way, but, above all, will bring their practical knowledge derived from their own experience to the course: one of the differential qualities of this training.

This mastery of the subject matter is complemented by the effectiveness of the methodological design of this course. Developed by a multidisciplinary team of e-learning courses, it integrates the latest advances in educational technology. This way, you will be able to study with a range of comfortable and versatile multimedia tools that will give you the operability you need in your training. 

The design of this program is based on Problem-Based Learning: an approach that conceives learning as a highly practical process. To achieve this remotely, we will use telepractice:  with the help of an innovative interactive video system, and learning from an expert, you will be able to acquire the knowledge as if you were actually dealing with the scenario you are learning about. A concept that will allow you to integrate and fix learning in a more realistic and permanent way.

This course allows training in simulated environments, which provide immersive learning programmed to train for real situations"

With a methodological design based on proven teaching techniques, this course will take you through different teaching approaches to allow you to learn in a dynamic and effective way"
