Thanks to this 100% online Postgraduate Certificate, you will design individualized treatment plans to address imbalances in the Cutaneous Microbiota and associated dermatological conditions”

In recent decades, there has been a growing interest in the Skin Microbiota and its role in skin health. Human skin harbors a diversity of microorganisms that interact with each other to maintain balance and homeostasis. This complex microbial ecosystem plays a key role in protecting against pathogens, regulating the immune system and modulating the inflammatory response. In the field of Physiotherapy, it is essential for specialists to understand the particularities of the Cutaneous Microbiome both to evaluate and treat dermatological conditions and to promote optimal health in the skin of their patients.

In this context, TECH implements an avant-garde Postgraduate Certificate in Skin Microbiota. Designed by professionals in this field, the academic itinerary will delve into key issues such as the physiology, structure or functions of the skin. In this regard, the syllabus will examine the factors that regulate the type of bacterial flora, bearing in mind the sweat and sebaceous glands.  The didactic contents will also address the main alterations of the barrier function and the skin pathologies triggered (such as Psoriasis, Atopic Dermatitis or Acne Vulgaris). In this way, graduates will acquire competencies to analyze skin health and design personalized treatment plans that address imbalances in the Cutaneous Microbiota. In addition, a renowned International Guest Director will give an intensive Masterclass for students to implement advanced therapeutic interventions such as the use of topical probiotics.

On the other hand, TECH has put together a complete program, 100% online and totally flexible. The only thing physiotherapists will need to enter the Virtual Campus is an electronic device with an Internet connection (such as a cell phone, computer or tablet). Similarly, the program is based on the Relearning methodology, consisting of the reiteration of key concepts for optimal assimilation of content. In this way experts will enjoy a progressive and natural learning process, without having to resort to costly techniques such as memorization.

A prestigious International Guest Director will give a comprehensive Masterclass to provide you with sophisticated techniques to strengthen the skin barrier”

This Postgraduate Certificate in Skin Microbiota contains the most complete and up-to-date scientific program on the market.The most important features include:

• The development of practical cases presented by experts in Human Microbiota 
• The graphic, schematic and eminently practical contents with which it is conceived gather scientific and practical information on those disciplines that are indispensable for professional practice 
• Practical exercises where the self-assessment process can be carried out to improve learning 
• Its special emphasis on innovative methodologies  
• Theoretical lessons, questions to the expert, debate forums on controversial topics, and individual reflection assignments 
• Content that is accessible from any fixed or portable device with an Internet connection 

You will address the influence of the use of Probiotics in the treatment of different skin diseases, among which Rosacea stands out”

The program’s teaching staff includes professionals from the field who contribute their work experience to this educational program, as well as renowned specialists from leading societies and prestigious universities.

The multimedia content, developed with the latest educational technology, will provide the professional with situated and contextual learning, i.e., a simulated environment that will provide immersive education programmed to learn in real situations.

This program is designed around Problem-Based Learning, whereby the professional must try to solve the different professional practice situations that arise during the course. For this purpose, students will be assisted by an innovative interactive video system created by renowned experts. 

You will develop advanced skills to prevent skin infections and promote wound healing"

The Relearning method applied by TECH in its programs reduces the long hours of study so common in other teaching methods"

Thanks to this university program, physiotherapists will have a solid understanding of the composition and function of the skin microbiota, as well as the most common pathologies. The curriculum will delve into issues such as the factors that regulate the type of bacterial flora in the skin, or the structure of the Cutaneous Immune System.  Likewise, the syllabus will examine the triggered cutaneous pathologies such as Psoriasis, Acne Vulgaris and Atopic Dermatitis. Therefore, graduates will use this knowledge to optimize skin conditions and promote more effective healing in patients with chronic and even postoperative wounds. 

You will be able to perform skin health assessments through procedures such as sample analysis or the use of advanced diagnostic tools”
