General Information
Current models of medical emergency systems are based on advanced life support units that require nursing professionals with a high degree of autonomy and training in managing critically ill patients.
It is essential for nursing professionals to have robust training in emergencies, enabling them to act swiftly, precisely, and confidently, ensuring an effective response in unpredictable and high-pressure situations.
At the MIAEE Master's programme, we believe that to achieve this, we must provide:
- Instructors and out-of-hospital emergency professionals with extensive expertise in their field.
- Clinical simulations with a high level of realism.
- Increased hands-on clinical practice opportunities.
- A close and personalised approach to student engagement.
Goals
The general goal of the Master's program in Nursing Applied to Pre-Hospital Emergency Care is to train professionals in the necessary competencies to be able to autonomously exercise the role of nursing within medical emergencies, and to give an effective response to any incident.
The training of the nursing professional has to be up-to-date, inclusive, and high-quality, in order to be able to address the emergencies that may arise in our society.
Careers
This master's degree becomes the precise instrument to train nursing professionals who want to develop their professional activity in the field of pre-hospital emergencies and their different procedures with a high scientific and professional level.
- Systems of Medical Emergencies at the assistance level of operations or coordination and management of health resources.
- Rescue Services and Corps.
