Discover the keys to boost the orthopaedics area of your pharmacy and grow your business.

The Alfonso X el Sabio University and COFARES (the first pharmaceutical distributor to receive the Top Employers Spain 2021 certification), have joined forces to offer pharmacists, through this expert course, the possibility of developing their skills and abilities in orthopaedic techniques, which are essential when designing, manufacturing, adapting and dispensing orthopaedic medical devices.

This training meets one of the necessary criteria stipulated in Royal Decree 437/2002: minimum specialised training of more than 200 hours (20 ECTS credits), which allows pharmacists to be able to sell customised orthopaedic products.

At the same time, each Autonomous Community has its own criteria for the final awarding of the opening of an orthopaedic section in a pharmacy.

What skills will you acquire?

  • You will learn the anatomical, physiological, biomechanical and pathological knowledge necessary to work in the field of Orthopaedics.
  • You will learn the methodology used in Orthopaedics when designing, manufacturing and adapting orthopaedic products.
  • You will learn about the most popular support products in orthopaedic cabinets in pharmacies, as well as how to adapt them.
  • You will know everything you need to organise, manage and advertise the orthopaedic department of a pharmacy.
  • You will learn in a practical way the handling and adaptation of the most demanded orthoses and support products in the orthopaedic department of a pharmacy.

*This course can be subsidised by FUNDAE.

**Ask your advisor about the grants available.
