Food allergies have become a constant in specialist consultations. Become one of the most in-demand professionals of today”

 

Allergology has seen how, in recent years, the number of people affected by the different forms of manifestation of the disease has increased notably. In the last two decades, this increasing trend has been particularly noticeable among children. And yet, very few countries have specialized services in this medical field.

This prevalence has led to allergy being considered a major health problem: according to the WHO, hundreds of millions of people suffer from rhinitis, one of the most common allergy conditions, and at least 300 million suffer from asthma. In addition to these figures, there is an enormous variety of other common and new allergies that have become commonplace in the specialist's office.

This training program has been created with the aim of providing professionals with specific training in the field of allergology to equip them with the most up-to-date knowledge in diagnosis and intervention.

In this sense, the professional must be able to offer their patients a study of their disease in which the recognition of allergens is a priority in order to work towards a lifestyle that aims to avoid symptoms and, with them, the progression of the disease.

During this training, you will learn about new lines of research and practice in allergic disease with a special interest in areas such as asthma and diagnosis by inflammatory genotypes or measurements: induced sputum, flow cytometry, measurement of cytokines and interleukins.

A comprehensive refresher program that will also allow you to incorporate Big Data and telemedicine skills. Work routines that will provide you with a new spectrum of performance and permanent growth.
