Frequently Asked Questions about the Postgraduate Programme in Urogynecology: Comprehensive Pelvic Floor Approach for Midwives

Does this postgraduate programme allow me to apply what I learn in clinical practice?

Yes. The programme is designed so you can immediately integrate the knowledge and techniques acquired into your daily practice as a midwife, both in hospital settings and primary care. You will learn to carry out functional assessments, identify dysfunctions and treat the most common pelvic floor problems experienced by women.

It will make you more autonomous and effective, improve the quality of your care, and provide you with a global understanding of the pelvic floor to enhance your ability to work in prevention, early detection, treatment and, when necessary, referral.

Is this training recognised within the healthcare system?

It is a university-specific qualification awarded by UVic-UCC, recognised in academic settings and valued in selection processes, internal promotion and continuing education. Although it is not an official specialty, it is highly regarded in the obstetric and gynaecological sector.

How is this postgraduate programme different from a pelvic floor course?

This programme offers specialised training for midwives, with a clinical, comprehensive and multidisciplinary approach. It does not focus solely on pelvic floor physiotherapy; instead, it addresses urogynecology from an obstetric perspective, including assessment, prevention, health education and intervention.

Is there real clinical practice with patients?

No. Although there are no placements with patients, the programme is highly applicable because it uses clinical simulation, includes practical workshops with anatomical models and incorporates real clinical cases. This allows you to develop skills and clinical judgement safely before applying them in real consultations.

Is it compatible with clinical work?

Yes. During the 9 months of the programme, only 7 modules are delivered in person, on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays. The rest of the content is completed online with flexible scheduling. It is designed for practising midwives who want to continue training without interrupting their professional activity.

Can I enrol if I am finishing my midwifery specialty?

Yes. If you are currently completing your midwifery specialty, you can enrol. This postgraduate programme is an excellent next step to consolidate knowledge and acquire advanced competencies in urogynecology.

What impact can this have on my career?

It positions you as a reference in pelvic health within your team, provides tools to lead prevention and intervention projects, and may open opportunities in specialised units, pelvic floor clinics or multidisciplinary services.

What is the cost and how can it be paid?

The total cost is €3,300. UManresa offers instalment payment options and access to possible financial aid or scholarships. You can consult the specific conditions with the admissions team.

How can I know if this postgraduate programme is right for me?

If you are a midwife and want to specialise in urogynecology with a comprehensive pelvic floor approach through practical, rigorous and applicable training, this programme is for you. You can contact the admissions team to clarify doubts and assess whether it fits your professional goals.
