Master's Degree in Emergency Toxicology for Nursing

A physician’s curricular mastery should not be limited exclusively to the management of pathologies if one aims to exceed conventional standards. Expanding professional scope requires, for example, a deep understanding of the interaction of various substances with the human body, since not only viruses are the epicenter of health alterations; physical and mental health risks abound across all social contexts. The Master’s Degree in Emergency Toxicology developed by TECH Global University is a 100% virtual training program designed to meet this need, as there is a lack of academic programs dedicated to such a priority specialty in the workplace. The program seeks to equip graduates with a highly competitive role, capable of performing accurate anamnesis (clarifying the various harmful components) and delivering preeminent treatment to patients with toxicological syndromes. Because a life at risk demands qualified, comprehensive, and experienced care, TECH provides you the opportunity to strengthen your skills to meet the challenges inherent in this field.

The importance of toxicological knowledge

The profound changes experienced globally due to the pandemic have created psychosocial gaps that destabilize population moods, especially among younger individuals. This has precipitated a spiral of excesses and risky behavior that compromise health. For example, in Spain during the Halloween celebrations of 2021, SAMUR-Protección Civil (Municipal Emergency and Rescue Service) treated 39 minors with alcohol intoxication and one young adult with a drug overdose. Meanwhile, in Colombia, in September of the same year, five young people were admitted to a clinic in Cartagena after being intoxicated by a psychoactive substance of unknown composition. Today, more than ever, it is necessary to deepen knowledge in this field to know how to respond to these emergencies. Our program will teach you not only everything you need to know to treat cases of intoxication by psychostimulants and hallucinogens (which are the highest-priority cases) but also by a wide range of other pharmacological and chemical agents, including heavy metal poisoning.
