Thanks to this TECH program, you will deepen in methods of environmental management of legionellosis, as well as chemical risk at an international level”

The growing evidence of the correlation between health problems and environmental factors has favored the growth of the area of Environmental Public Health. As industrialization and urbanization advance, challenges such as air and water pollution, climate change and exposure to toxic chemicals are increasing. In addition, globalization and changes in land use have facilitated the spread of infectious diseases. It is in this sense that this TECH Global University program is born, with the aim of giving doctors a deep and comprehensive vision of this problem.

Therefore, they will be able to update their knowledge, preparing themselves to face the challenges that may arise. 

In this program, students will delve into water quality control methods, as well as pollution prevention measures. Sources such as heavy metals, bacteria and emerging chemicals pose significant health risks. They will also focus on international chemical risk management, hazard classification and its communication through the labeling of safety data sheets. In addition, they will be able to acquire competencies for the evaluation, authorization and restriction of chemical substances and mixtures.  

Moreover, graduates will deepen their knowledge of environmental management of vector-borne diseases, focusing on the processes of identification, control and prevention. At the same time, they will acquire competencies for the implementation of comprehensive strategies to reduce the presence and impact and therefore protect communities from diseases such as dengue, malaria and Zika.  

In turn, they will be able to specialize through this 100% online program, from anywhere, through multimedia and interactive material.

In addition, they will benefit from the innovative and revolutionary Relearning methodology, which combines the highest pedagogical rigor, the highest academic demands and the most advanced technology.
