Objectives and competences
The area of integrative medicine is an emerging field in the health sciences. The process of integrating both types of medicine (conventional Western medicine and traditional medicine) has led universities to invest personnel and financial resources in researching the effects of this integration on health. In this postgraduate degree, students will learn about the application of neuroanatomical and neurophysiological bases to treat complex pathologies (pain, side effects of chemotherapy and radiotherapy, pathology of women) to ensure a healthy lifestyle. No other training is currently offered.

Access and admission
Applicant profile and access requirements
Recommended applicant profile
Physicians who want to complement their training in non-pharmacological treatments and incorporate neurological stimulation into their practice in order to adopt a multidisciplinary approach towards their cases; for example, it is intended for doctors who treat pain patients (pain units), general practitioners, oncologists, gynaecologists and specialists who treat pathologies that their specific area of specialization is unable to fully address.Access requirements and conditions
