All members of modern society should be able to provide aid to fellow citizens suffering sudden injuries or accidents. This kind of good-Samaritan assistance can involve anything from asking for help to assisting victims, within the limits of the given situation and the participants’ knowledge and experience.
This gives healthcare providers an added professional and legal obligation to act either as primary care givers or as independent or affiliated health professionals. The only way to achieve optimum results in these kinds of situations is to ensure that all health professionals involved have received proper training, possess profound theoretical and practical knowledge of emergency responses, and can effectively administer life support and therapeutic treatments. Providing this fund of knowledge is essentially the primary goal of the Postgraduate Course in Life Support and Physical Emergencies.
"El Postgrado de Emergencias de la UIC me ha ofrecido un punto de vista global de la realidad en las emergencias hoy en día. Se ha convertido en una base imprescindible que me ha permitido introducirme en el mundo de la atención extrahospitalaria. Un extraordinario punto de partida para una carrera profesional en la que nunca dejas de aprender y de sorprenderte."
