In the sphere of Urgencies Medicine, the quality health care assistance arrives today to the patient’s home and our professionals must be firmly prepared to identify and treat any critical situation that could arise not only in an hospital environment but also outside, even in situations of special operational difficulty such as incidents with multiple victims.

Thanks to the development of coordination centres of extra-hospital urgencies, the movement of health care resources is done with tremendous promptness. The medical attention in those first minutes of uncertainty is going to make a condition on, without any doubt, the evolution of the patient. Thus, the physician must be fully trained and prepared.

The professionals in urgencies demand a specific learning that, nowadays, is set apart of the current plans of MIR training. The on-hand skills in the different aspects of the assistance are, most of the times, put into the background and other courses must be done in an individual way.

Our goal is to gather all this knowledge and skills in this Master of Medicine in Urgencies, Emergencies and Catastrophes in order to prepare professionals who could work in the urgent health care assistance with rigour and safety.

San Pablo-CEU University joins the Service SUMMA 112 of Madrid, the Hospital Universitario Gregorio Marañón and TASSICA Emergency Training &Research in order to carry out this Master and guarantee the training of doctors in this emerging field.
