This Postgraduate diploma will allow the pharmacist to successfully specialize in everything related to the diseases that are present in infections"

In order to meet the healthcare needs of the 21st century, it is important that pharmaceutical professionals keep up to date with advances in this area of care for the sick. In this case, the cases of infections linked to different diseases, which affect millions of people around the world every year, stand out.

Infection control has become a great difficulty, especially due to the problems derived from antimicrobial resistance, which has caused pathologies that used to be easily cured to become more complicated, with the consequences that this entails, both for the patients and for the economy, as treatment costs have become longer. 

In addition, several new infectious diseases with high morbidity have emerged in recent years, requiring a significant level of updating. For this reason, pharmacists should continue their training with educational programs such as the one TECH presents on this occasion, which delves into the microbiology of infectious diseases, taking into account the characteristics that allow the development of infections in different continents. 

Likewise, the Postgraduate diploma students will be able to deepen their knowledge of the relationship between the development of certain infections in cancer patients or patients with chronic diseases, as well as multi resistant microorganisms. Also noteworthy is the formation of rare infections which, although frequent in specific countries, mainly in developing areas, can reach any part of the world, favored by tourism.
