Thanks to this 100% online Postgraduate certificate, you will learn in depth about the different types of pathologies associated with the field of Multi-resistant Bacteria, enabling you to fight them in the most effective way"

Properly treating patients with Management of Patients with Multidrug-Resistant Bacterial Infections in Intensive Care Units (ICU) is vital due to the complexity and severity of these infections in an environment where patients are already critically ill. In addition, ICUs are particularly vulnerable, as patients are often immunocompromised and more susceptible, due to their underlying medical condition and the need for invasive procedures. 

Therefore, effective management of these patients requires a comprehensive, multidisciplinary approach. Specialists must collaborate with other professionals to design personalized treatment strategies based on laboratory tests that identify specific bacteria and their resistance profile. This may involve the use of last-line antibiotics, combinations of different antimicrobial agents, and evaluation of alternative treatments such as bacteriophage therapy.  

In this context, TECHhas designed this complete Postgraduate certificate, which responds to the demand of professionals who wish to specialize in this complex field. Therefore, during 6 weeks, graduates will delve into diagnostic methods and treatments of pathologies such as Pneumonia and Pseudomembranous Colitis. They will also acquire skills to develop antibiotic therapy strategies, as well as to establish infection prevention plans. Likewise, they will master evaluation and continuous improvement tools. 

All this, through a 100% online vanguard methodology and a complete didactic material, elaborated by contrasted experts in this field. Additionally, they will be supported by multimedia and interactive content, which will give them the opportunity to specialize in a more attractive way and acquire a more comprehensive knowledge.
