Introduction to the Program

Experiences of distress in the cancer process can have negative effects on the patient's health"

##IMAGE##

Currently, multiple lines of research and increasingly advanced therapies have been developed, focusing on the management and symptomatic control of cancer. This implies that patients experience short-, medium- and long-term effects of the disease. For this reason, a sub-specialty called "Psycho-Oncology" is beginning to emerge, which advocates for the psychosocial well-being of the oncology patient, the effects it has on their life and the impact on their family environment.

With the Professional master’s degree in this area, physicians will be able to expertly specialize in the comprehensive care of their oncology patients in all phases of the disease, i.e., from diagnosis to cases requiring special care to ensure comfort in the last moments. This also includes the mental health of the patient's family members and caregivers during the progression of the disease.

In this degree program, special emphasis will be placed on the need to improve students' communication skills and abilities, which will ensure that they are able to manage their emotions in any stressful or conflictive situation. This will be essential for the patient to adequately understand the process they are about to face. Likewise, special attention will be paid to the students' need to effectively manage Burnout symptoms, encouraging personal self-care.

In this way, the student will learn about the advances and contributions of psychology to oncology, which will help them to determine, with the patient and their family, realistic therapeutic objectives. Likewise, they will learn the intervention techniques designed to emotionally accompany the patient, identifying the symptoms and psychological alterations that represent a threat to the effectiveness of the treatment.

For all these reasons, doctors who take this Professional master’s degree will be able to become complete professionals. Therefore, they will be able to approach the disease from a novel approach that takes into account the emotional and social reality of the patient. Therefore, they can work in any hospital, nationally and internationally, under very stressful situations and a high emotional load.
