The postgraduate certificate was created to take the professional through the essential knowledge in each and every one of the areas that make up a high-level Bariatric Unit"

Among the different options for the treatment of obesity, bariatric surgery has been reserved for cases of morbid obesity when previous dietary treatment has failed. However, a large number of patients do not present criteria for bariatric surgery, but do not achieve sufficient and lasting weight loss with diet and physical exercise alone. 

For these patients, the use of adjuvant methods to increase the effect of weight loss would be advisable. 

These could include endoscopic and percutaneous methods. These procedures have shown exponential growth in recent years and are not only recommended for patients with mild to moderate obesity, but may have a place as alternatives or treatments prior to bariatric surgery in high-risk patients. 

Although evidence of long-term results of these procedures is still lacking, they should clearly be taken into consideration as part of the treatment options for obesity.

This training is a unique opportunity as this postgraduate certificate contains the most complete and up-to-date scientific program on the market. Its topics allow specialists to access all the necessary knowledge based on scientific evidence and adapt their training process to their personal and professional needs. 

Our teaching staff is integrated by different medical professionals of recognized prestige belonging to the field of Obesity (surgeons, endocrinologists, nutritionists, psychologists, gastroenterologists, etc.), who are also references in the field of bariatric surgery. A multidisciplinary team of experienced professionals who will faithfully develop theoretical knowledge and apply their practical experiences to the service of the student, one of the differential qualities of this postgraduate certificate.
