Increase your training in the surgical management of major burns and the potential complications that can arise and achieve more effective care for your patients"

The multidisciplinary nature and the need for teamwork in patients with major burns require knowledge of different surgical options. The patient's evolution depends, on the one hand, on adequate surgical performance and, on the other hand, surgical success depends on the patient's preoperative situation and postoperative care. For this reason, this postgraduate diploma will explain the assessment criteria, the forms of debridement, temporary and definitive coverage, and the different types of dressings that can be used for the healing of burns.

Likewise, with this program, physicians will find in a clear way the complex pathophysiological relationships involved in burns and how they influence at the systemic level, as well as the main information that can help to use antibiotherapy in an adequate way, avoiding above all the development of resistance.

In short, this postgraduate diploma brings together in a single program all the information necessary for the care required by patients with severe burns. The multidisciplinary aspect of the training is noteworthy, as these patients are extremely complex and require many specialists working together, with the aim of achieving a rapid recovery. 

In addition to the complete and fully updated information, it offers the greatest experience from the teaching staff in the treatment of this type of patient. This experience is very valuable since there are very few burn uwards and, therefore, the possibility of training in them is scarce. As a major advantage, it has the advantage of being a 100% online specialization, so the student can decide from where to study and at what time to do it, in this way, can flexibly self-direct their study hours.
