Maintaining health checks in the workplace allows employees to correct certain routines that could lead to long-term physical harm. Get prepared with us and help reduce this risk”

Occupational Medicine and Health can be described as a medical activity focused on the detection of risk factors, in order to preventively avoid the development of situations that may lead to injury or illness. Thus, one of the objectives of this profession is to promote actions that generate well-being, preventing certain activities from damaging the health of workers.

The physician specializing in this field must be qualified to practice medicine when required and to assess the injury within the work environment and the sequelae arising therefrom in the scope of their occupations. Therefore, professionals in this area must be specialized and prepared to know, analyze and correct each and every one of the circumstances that may intervene in a person, taking into account in a very special way their relationship with work.

This professional master’s degree takes into account the permanent changes in the work environment and in the individuals themselves, which mean that occupational health professionals must ensure that they are kept up-to-date. Thereby, the student will have access to detailed and updated information to develop the activities and suitable actions that can be presented in different environments: health promotion and prevention; knowledge, evaluation and control of occupational risks: organization and management of occupational health; or the implementation of quality control systems.

It also offers students an interesting update on ergonomics and its practical application in the workplace. To this end, extensive training has been designed in specific assessment of the worker in his work environment: updating in occupational pathology; and technopathologies, which will be sufficient support for the student to know the relevant and updated aspects to carry out preventive and assistance activities. Finally, knowledge of labor and health law will be strengthened, as well as knowledge of research and epidemiology in occupational health.

In addition, this professional master’s degree has the advantage of being developed in a 100% online format, so students will be in charge of deciding when and where to study, distributing their study hours autonomously, so that they can combine their training time with the rest of their daily commitments.
