Postgraduate Degree in Allergology for Nurses
Nowadays, allergies have an increasingly significant impact in Western society. However, there is a lack of training in allergology in university education in medicine and nursing, which makes the treatment of these pathologies difficult. For this reason, as part of its Bachelor's Degree in Medicine, UIC Barcelona has included a subject on allergic disease, the only Catalan university to do so and one of only a handful in Spain as a whole. However, future nurses lack this training when they study the Bachelor's Degree. For this reason, UIC Barcelona offers a postgraduate course specialised in providing nursing professionals with the necessary knowledge to correctly deal with the treatment of allergic disease.
