This master of continuous education is the way to improve your skills and knowledge at the level of neurology, psychology, endocrinology, sociology, immunology and all the connections between these topics. This is what makes clinical psychoneuroimmunology a real complete modern medicine. Preventive, protective and secondary preventive interventions are parts of clinical PNI. These are based on etiological and pathophysiological reasoning with the use of meta-models that have been developed during 35 years of thorough and scientific research. People are humans, and therefore global interventions regulating the BIG 14 (from breathing to sleeping) should always be the basis of any intervention in people suffering from any chronic disease. However, people are also individuals, and therefore you also learn how to develop personalised medicine.

We propose you make a life-changing decision; join us on this journey of change and become part of our already huge clinical psychoneuroimmunological community and a Master in clinical PNI.
