Increase your training in the field of imported infectious diseases and prepare yourself to treat rare pathologies"

Obtaining a high level of knowledge about imported infectious diseases is practically a must for physicians working in this area. This is because, nowadays, no professional can be sure that they will not come across a case of a disease originating in another country.

Globalization, mass tourism and the possibility of reaching places that until a few years ago were almost impossible to imagine have caused diseases that were confined to certain countries to cross their own borders. As a result, it is now possible to diagnose patients with rare infections or infections that until recently did not even exist in certain regions.

Therefore, imported infectious diseases should be seen as another specialty in which to train and with which to improve the health of patients. To increase the training of physicians, TECH has designed this very complete postgraduate diploma, which shows from Public Health protocols to the particularities of tropical infections, such as malaria or hemorrhagic fevers, for example. A high academic level program that will help you improve your daily practice.

On the other hand, being a 100% online training, the professional will have the ability to decide when and from where to study, without commitments or obligations, thus being able to combine their study time with the rest of their daily obligations.
