The study of the Intestinal Microbiota opens a door to the knowledge of multiple diseases, adding great value to the Pharmacist's curriculum"

Numerous pieces of scientific evidence have implicated the intestinal microbiome and its metabolic potential in various pathological conditions in recent years, giving rise to new therapeutic strategies to control and regulate this ecosystem. The study of this ecosystem is a field that is rapidly advancing scientifically, and it is universally accepted that to achieve an adequate state of health it is also necessary to have a "healthy" Microbiota.

Human Microbiota undergoes changes as a consequence of the influence of multiple factors, diet, lifestyle and pharmacological treatments generating, among others, which alter the bacterial ecosystem and may cuase abnormal interaction with the organism, and it is related to certain processes: allergies, acute and chronic intestinal diseases, obesity and metabolic syndrome, neurological diseases, dermatitis and other alterations in the dermis, and even some types of cancer.

This postgraduate certificate in Intestinal Microbiota and Homeostasis in Pharmacy focuses on providing Pharmacists with the necessary information on issues related to Intestinal Microbiota, paying special attention to the process of Homeostasis, which involves the body's ability to self-regulate in order to maintain a healthy intestinal flora.

Likewise, the use of Probiotics and Prebiotics, and the growing market launch of new products with very specific strains for problems and diseases of the intestinal tract, will also be addressed. All this content will make it possible for Pharmacy professionals to be prepared to offer effective solutions to patients with this type of pathology, knowing how to guide them so that they can recover and maintain their intestinal microbiota and, consequently, promote a good state of health.

Through this postgraduate certificate you will be able to guide the patient to recover and maintain bacterial balance to maintain a good state of health, offering drugs that help to improve intestinal well-being, and to collaborate in a positive way with the medical treatment prescribed.  

Guide the patient to recover and maintain intestinal bacterial balance, helping to achieve a good state of health"

All this will make it easier for Pharmacists to deal with patients and will provide them with the skills to promote good health maintenance in patients of all ages. 

This postgraduate certificate, designed with the latest educational technology, will allow you to learn all the advances in Intestinal Microbiotics and Homeostasis, making you a first level Pharmacist"

General Objectives

• This Postgraduate Certificate fulfills a need in today's society, a quality and updated training program that allows for the use of microbiological therapy as a preventive or therapeutic tool for health maintenance.
• It offers a complete and global picture of the current situation in the area of Intestinal Microbiota, in its broadest sense, and the importance of the balance of this microbiota as a direct effect on our health, including the multiple factors that influence it positively and negatively.
• Arguments based in scientific evidence show how Microbiota and its interaction with many non-digestive pathologies of autoimmune nature, or its relation with the dysregulation of the immune system, its capacity for disease prevention and as a support to other medical treatments, are all currently being given a privileged position.
• The program will promote work strategies based on the integral approach of the user as a reference model, not only focusing on the symptomatology of the specific pathology, but also looking at its interaction with Microbiota and how the latter may be influencing it.
• Encourage professional stimulus through continuing education and research.
