A program that will give you the tools to combat antibiotic resistance through the most innovative antimicrobial therapies in the clinical sector today" 

Viruses, bacteria, fungi and parasites have a very high capacity for adaptability and are capable of mutating and developing competencies resistant to the various drugs used for their eradication. Although this is their intrinsic and natural characteristic, the uncontrolled consumption of antibiotics has accelerated their activity, making them immune to their effect and aggravating the danger of infections.  A very clear example of this is what has happened with COVID-19, from which, several sub-lineages have emerged, such as BA.5 and BA.2.12.1, resistant to the vaccines that have been launched on the market as the pathology has progressed.  

For this reason, medical professionals must carry out an exhaustive control as much as possible in relation to the use of these drugs, guiding patients and prescribing the most effective and innovative treatments for the different conditions they may suffer from. In order to update their clinical practice, TECH and a team of experts in Infectology and Biology have developed this postgraduate diploma in Microbiology and Antibiotic Resistance Control . It is a comprehensive, dynamic, intensive and multidisciplinary program that gathers the latest advances related to the generalities of Microbiology, focusing on super-resistance and the use of antimicrobials as a therapeutic guideline based on the most current concepts. In addition, this course will allow you to get up to date on monitoring and control strategies in the use of these chemicals, delving into the therapies of the future and the trends that are having the best results in the current medical context.  

All this 100% online, through 475 hours of diverse content, designed by a top-level teaching team, specialized in this field and willing to share their experience with students throughout this 6-month program. In addition, they will have access to a state-of-the-art Virtual Campus, where all the content will be stored from the start of the course. Therefore, students will be able to organize their course schedule according to their availability, allowing them to update and improve their skills in a way that is perfectly compatible with their practice activity. 

You will have 475 hours of the best theoretical, practical and additional content to update you on the most innovative strategies for monitoring and controlling antimicrobial use"

This postgraduate diploma in Microbiology and Antibiotic Resistance Control contains the most complete and up-to-date scientific program on the market. The most important features include:

• The development of case studies presented by experts in Clinical Infectology 
• The graphic, schematic, and practical contents with which they are created, provide scientific and practical information on the disciplines that are essential for professional practice
• Practical exercises where the process of self-assessment can be used to improve learning 
• Its special emphasis on innovative methodologies  
• Theoretical lessons, questions to the expert, debate forums on controversial topics, and individual reflection assignments 
• Content that is accessible from any fixed or portable device with an Internet connection

A program that will allow you to update your knowledge according to the role of nurses in today's environment of Palliative Care over 475 hours of the best theoretical, practical and additional content"

The program’s teaching staff includes professionals from sector who contribute their work experience to this program, as well as renowned specialists from leading societies and prestigious universities.

The multimedia content, developed with the latest educational technology, will provide the professional with situated and contextual learning, i.e., a simulated environment that will provide immersive education programmed to learn in real situations.  

This program is designed around Problem-Based Learning, whereby professionals must try to solve the different professional practice situations that arise during the academic year. For this purpose, the student will be assisted by an innovative interactive video system created by renowned and experienced experts.

You will work intensively on a comprehensive update of your knowledge, in a consensual way and with the latest developments in Microbiology applied to the medical field"

You will not have to worry about tight schedules or face-to-face classes thanks to the compatibility of this program's Virtual Campus with any device with Internet connection"

The danger arising from antibiotic resistance and the harmful effect it can have on global health was the reason why TECH considered it necessary to develop a program that would allow students to update their practice to effectively combat this situation. For this reason, the objective of this Postgraduate Diploma is none other than to provide students with the most comprehensive and innovative information in relation to Microbiology and antimicrobial use, which will allow them to update their practice and implement the most effective concepts and strategies to ensure healthy stability in the current medical context.  

Thanks to this program, you will be able to expand and update your knowledge in mycology and parasitology, allowing you to carry out a more effective praxis”
