The [Diploma of Specialisation in Hyperbaric and Underwater Medicine](https://www.fue.uji.es/medicinahiperbarica) offered by the Universitat Jaume I (UJI), in collaboration with the Hyperbaric Therapy Unit of the General University Hospital of Castelló, has recently obtained the recognition of the European College of Baromedicine, which includes the accreditation of [competence levels 2D/2H](http://www.echm.org/documents/ECHM-EDTC%20Educational%20and%20Training%20Standards%20(2011).pdf) for doctors and nurses who take it in its nursing modality.

This accreditation, the first to be granted to a Spanish university, follows years of responsible work that has demonstrated quality standards both in the treatment of patients and in the training of new specialists, doctors and nurses.

The European College of Baromedicine (ECB) is a specialised medical organisation created to establish and maintain mutual recognition of qualifications in underwater and hyperbaric medicine between academic and training institutions in Europe, and aims to become the accreditation body for baromedicine in the European Union, being the executive arm of the European Committee of Hyperbaric Medicine (ECHM).

The UJI has been teaching the Diploma in Hyperbaric and Underwater Medicine since 2020, and health professionals from all over Spain and five other countries have participated. Co-directed by Manuel Salvador and Vicente Aguilella, the course enables students to assess the suitability of hyperbaric oxygen therapy treatments, manage hyperbaric centres and provide urgent treatment to critical patients in the hyperbaric chamber. It also provides the knowledge and skills necessary to carry out medical examinations of recreational divers, professionals and compressed air workers, and to diagnose and treat diving accidents.

This diploma is part of a wide range of postgraduate courses offered by the Universitat Jaume I in the field of health sciences, which includes six university masters, six lifelong learning masters and four specialisation and expert diplomas.
