With this 100% online program, you will acquire competencies in the identification and analysis of disease patterns, the implementation of outbreak prevention strategies and the management of health emergencies”

The COVID-19 pandemic has underscored the critical importance of robust, real-time surveillance systems that enable early detection of outbreaks and rapid implementation of control measures. At the same time, international cooperation and data sharing have become essential to address global health threats. 

This is how this program was created, which will provide pharmacists with an in-depth understanding of the fundamental principles of health protection and prevention. In this way, epidemiological surveillance, risk assessment, management, control and communication will be covered, providing essential tools for professional practice. In addition, self-control and surveillance systems will be examined through hazard analysis and identification of critical control points. 

The epidemiology and risk factors associated with diseases such as Cancer and Cardiovascular Diseases, as well as their primary and secondary prevention, will also be analyzed. Likewise, a solid basis for the detection of rare diseases and the implementation of neonatal screening programs will be provided. 

Finally, the ability of professionals to identify and describe the main components of intervention studies, evaluating their quality and methodology will be developed. Pharmacists will also be able to analyze pragmatic and explanatory clinical trials, including the different phases of the design of diagnostic test validity studies. Without overlooking the importance of quality and methodological correctness in studies of prognostic factors, also introducing patient safety as a key concept in health care. 

Therefore, an online program of excellent quality has been designed to meet the individual needs of students and eliminate the associated problems, such as moving to a physical campus and adapting to fixed schedules. Additionally, a revolutionary learning methodology called Relearning has been integrated, which involves the review of essential concepts to achieve a more solid understanding of the contents. 

You will expand your role as a pharmacist beyond dispensing medications, becoming a key player in early disease detection and health promotion”
