The Master’s Degree in Nursing in Anesthesia, Resuscitation and Pain Management consolidates itself, once again, as an updated and innovative program aimed at nurses interested in joining work teams linked to anesthesiology, resuscitation and pain management. With more than 20 editions already completed, the program aims to provide students with the knowledge and skills necessary to deliver comprehensive and high-quality healthcare throughout the anesthesia process, perioperative period, or pain treatment.

Currently, the master’s degree is offered in a blended learning format, allowing students to progress in their learning process autonomously and according to their needs, while maintaining personalized and close interaction.

These modules feature professors with extensive experience and expertise in anesthesiology and pain management, and they not only involve practical workshops, but also participation in clinical simulation sessions at the CISARC facilities, one of the leading clinical simulation centers in Europe.

Finally, the program includes a total of 120 hours of clinical placements in services related to anesthesiology, resuscitation and pain management.
