In August 2026, the University of Calabria launched a second-level Master’s program focused on critical care and toxicology. Directed by Professor Andrea Bruni, the curriculum addresses the management of infections in critical patients, antimicrobial stewardship, and toxicological emergencies. This initiative follows regional incidents, such as a botulism emergency, which underscored the necessity for specialized training in managing lethal intoxications. By September 2026, the focus expanded to include administrative leadership through the seventh edition of the ‘Economy, Law and Management of Healthcare’ course. Promoted by the Order of Physicians, Surgeons and Dentists of Reggio Calabria in collaboration with the Mediterranean University of Reggio Calabria, this program provides training in the organizational, economic, and legal aspects of medical care. The course is intended for professionals aspiring to become department directors. ## Timeline ### 2026-09-06: Reggio Calabria launches advanced healthcare management training The seventh edition of an advanced healthcare management training course has been launched in Reggio Calabria for the 2026/2027 academic year, focusing on legal, economic, and organizational skills. 4 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/reggio-calabria-launches-advanced-healthcare-management-training ### 2026-08-11: University of Calabria launches medical Master's in critical care and toxicology The University of Calabria has introduced a specialized Master's program for physicians focusing on critical patient infections, antibiotic stewardship, and toxicological emergencies. 3 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/university-of-calabria-launches-medical-masters-in-critical-care-and-toxicology --- Cite as: Medical training developments in Calabria.
