Thanks to this 100% online Postgraduate Certificate, you will perform accurate diagnostics to identify bacterial infections that require antimicrobial therapies using the most innovative laboratory techniques"

Surveillance of Antimicrobial Resistance in animals is essential for the protection of Public Health. In this regard, data collected through these programs allow clinicians to identify emerging trends, evaluate the effectiveness of interventions and develop evidence-based policies. A recent report reveals that 30% of bacterial infections in farm animals are resistant to standard antibiotic treatments, underscoring the urgency of improving control. Faced with this, practitioners have a responsibility to implement these surveillance systems and to implement strategies to combat this antibiotic rejection.  

In this scenario, TECH launches a revolutionary Postgraduate certificate on Antimicrobial Resistance in Animal Health. Designed by specialists in this field, the academic itinerary will delve into the causes of antibiotic rejection in the veterinary field. Therefore, graduates will select the most appropriate antimicrobials to treat infections. Likewise, the syllabus will delve into the different species of multi-resistant bacteria according to their impact on Animal Health. In the same line, the program will provide the practitioners with the most effective strategic plans to reduce the risk of spreading antibiotic resistance. During the course of the degree, professionals will acquire the One Health approach, which will enable them to establish surveillance systems to monitor and respond to diseases.

Moreover, the university program is complemented by multiple multimedia pills, specialized readings and case study simulations. This will allow physicians to engage in a fully dynamic learning process. The only thing professionals will need is a digital device with Internet access to access the Virtual Campus. At the same time, it will remain available 24 hours a day. And all this without in person attendance or preset schedules.
