ThisAdvanced master’s degree is oriented to the attainment of the most up-to-date knowledge in Integrative Medicine, in a single specialization and through a high impact course"

In In recent years integrative medicine has become the most useful tool to develop a comprehensive medicine adapted to this new vision; a specialty that encompasses conventional and complementary medicine, striving for synergies between different disciplines. 

One of the essential aspects that changes the classic paradigm in this type of medical care is the change in the position of the patient, who ceases to be a passive individual and becomes the active object of his or her own well-being. This way the patient actively participates in his or her healing while the specialist exercises, in this medical modality, a different form of listening. This new healthcare model offers the possibility of reducing traditional medication by incorporating tools that allow us to decrease iatrogenesis and improve the prognosis of chronic diseases.

The field of integrative medicine is an emerging field of Health Sciences. In many developed countries there is a large percentage of the population that uses CAM at least once in their lifetime: 48% in Australia, 70% in Canada, 42% in the USA, 38% in Belgium and 75% in France. 

In countries such as the United Kingdom, Germany, Belgium, Holland and the Nordic countries, natural and complementary medicine is being incorporated into traditional health structures, following the conceptual line of this Advanced master’s degree. 

The process of integration of both Medicines has led different organizations to invest in human and economic capital to investigate the impact it could have on health and Social Security in many countries, with the aim of demonstrating the possibilities, limitations and significance of alternative medicine, establishing a common scientific framework, harmonizing legislation and helping to control health costs. 

Rapid advances and the need for constant updating in all these aspects require the professional to make an intense effort to remain at the forefront. An effort that may be too great to be assumed by working professionals, without the help of an updated online specialization such as this Advanced master’s degree, elaborated by experts with extensive experience in the sector.
