Advances in Home Hospitalization require new specialization proposals to keep professionals up to date"

Palliative care is given to patients with advanced diseases and limited life expectancy, such as cancer patients whose disease is at an advanced stage and cannot be cured. 

In these cases, it is important that these people enjoy the best conditions in the last stage of their lives, and one of the ways to help them have the best possible quality of life is through home hospitalization, since it allows patients to be in the company of their loved ones while receiving treatment in the warmth of their homes.

For this reason, it is necessary for health professionals to know the different cases that can be found in these patients and how to carry out their care outside the walls of hospital centers, where they do not have all the equipment and facilities that these places offer. Therefore, home hospitalization has become the engine of change in modern health care, a care focused on people and their health, as well as social needs. 

This program is oriented to delve into all those aspects that make Home Hospitalization unique and different from other medical specialties, but also to show the weaknesses and opportunities for the future that still lie ahead, taking advantage of new educational technologies.

The syllabus is rigorously presented with the latest scientific evidence and clinical cases in which to expand knowledge, focusing on the treatment of palliative care in oncology patients.
