Description

The social and economic importance of critical and emergency care patients is clear and appropriate healthcare should, therefore, be guaranteed. Many healthcare professionals (medical doctors, registered nurses, physiotherapists, pharmacologists, ...) attend critical patients in our medium.

Up to now no postgraduate program has covered in an interdisciplinary form all the knowledge and clinical competence of acute severe disease including the fundamentals of healthcare economics and bioethics specified applied in critical patients and in the emergency setting. Moreover, this Master in the setting of the European Higher Education Area is focused in giving the tools and methodology of research for clinical and biomedical studies. It is precisely aimed at trained professionals seeking excellence, and provides a comprehensive, exhaustive and complementary program and differs from any other prevailing training plan in our medium. Along this line, similar prestigious masters on critical and emergency care are provided in the United States and the European Union. 

We consider our proposal to complement and optimize the training offered by the University of Barcelona and University Autònoma of Barcelona, and demonstrates the effort required to agglutinate the groups of investigation within the medical and biomedical sciences avoiding individual limelight and favoring collaboration and synergy. The students taking part in this Master will have access to the Doctoral Programme.
