This professional master’s degree in Clinical Infectious Diseases and Antibiotic Therapy, provides you with the opportunity to update your knowledge comfortably and with the utmost scientific rigor, incorporating the latest advances in infectious pathology into your daily medical practice"

Since it began, the COVID-19 pandemic has caused more than 5 million deaths worldwide. But it is not the only infectious disease currently affecting the planet. In 2020, according to data collected by the National Institute of Statistics more than 80,000 people died from these ilnesses. The most important factors to take into consideration, in relation to infectious diseases, are demographics and human behavior, technological and industrial development, economic development and variations in land use, intercontinental traveling and commerce, climate change, microbiotic adaptation and lastly the disappearance or reduction of efficient public health measures. These factors mean that it would be wrong to consider any part of the planet to be isolated enough from the rest, nor the appearance, reappearance or dissemination of imported or apparently eradicated infectious diseases in our environment to be impossible. 

This century’s complex international epidemiological situation, so far exemplified by the deliberate release of Bacillus anthracis spores as a bioweapon which causes pulmonary anthrax in victims when inhaled, the emergence of West Nile virus as a pathogen in the United States, the SARS epidemic, the zoonotic spread of monkeypox in the United States, the threat of pandemic influenza, the Ebola epidemic in Africa, the emergence of yellow fever cases in Angola, coupled with the re-emergence of Dengue and Cholera.The emergence of new arboviruses in locations like Chikungunya and more recently Zika in the Americas. Together with the mortality rate from other endemic infectious diseases, such as HIV/AIDS, leptospirosis, tuberculosis, community-acquired pneumonia and our increased resistance to antibiotics with the development of multidrug-resistant bacteria, all of which highlight the need for professionals with specialist expertise in order to raise the performance levels of all the personnel needed to face up to the challenges involved in controlling and dealing with biological, hospital and public health emergencies and provide a higher standard of health care the world over.

The Clinical Infectious Diseases and Antibiotic Therapy program has been designed to improve the awareness of the proper prevention and treatment of infectious diseases allowing professionals to acquire and develop knowledge and skills that will determine an improvement in the quality of medical care they provide patients with infectious diseases, resulting in lower mortality rates.
