Degrees:
2019
Master Medical and Health Sciences incl Neurosciences
The academic degree is related to management, administration and new management processes, to ensure the optimization of resources for a better provision of health-related services, through the identification, analysis and discussion of problems, the search for solutions, the selection of the best alternatives and the conversion of decisions into effective actions.
1997
Undergraduate Medical and Health Sciences incl Neurosciences
The specialization in medical microbiology begins with the study of microorganisms that cause infectious diseases: viruses, bacteria, fungi, and parasites, where in each group we study the structural, physiological, and pathophysiological properties, common and advanced methods of identification, and extends to medical applications, focusing on various diseases and infections caused by microorganisms.
