Presentation
What makes this Expert unique?
This is the only University Expert Course in Maternal and Obstetric Pathology whose objective is to deepen in the most classical obstetrics and maternal medicine from a current point of view, focused on evidence-based medicine and on the patient, and with eminently practical keys for its transfer to the clinical practice of any specialist in Gynecology and Obstetrics.
This course will help the specialist in Gynecology and Obstetrics to act, in collaboration with other experts, with the aim of improving the health and well-being of the mother-fetus binomial during pregnancy, childbirth and puerperium. He does so by diagnosing, advising and treating complications affecting both the mother and the fetus.
We will address topics that have a high demand for care such as obstetrics, maternal diseases intercurrent with gestation, placental insufficiency, maternal infections, management of severe maternal complications or perinatal mental medicine.
In addition, essential social aspects of current obstetric practice such as respectful obstetric practices, perinatal bereavement, ethical considerations and patient-physician communication will be discussed.
All content will be complemented with supporting material with the latest scientific evidence, guidelines and protocols.
