Introduction to the Program
In this Hybrid Master's Degree you will find the latest advances in Radiation Oncology and learn how to integrate them efficiently in your professional medical praxis”
Innovations in cancer research are constantly occurring due to the high incidence of tumors in the global population. Therefore, every year, science provides new therapeutic solutions of great value. One of the fields that has experienced the greatest growth so far has been Radiation Oncology, where new equipment of varying complexity has appeared, facilitating procedures such as intraoperative radiotherapy, systemic radiotherapy or brachytherapy models. Keeping up-to-date on all these advances has become a priority for specialists. However, there are not many educational programs on the market that cover the latest trends in this professional area.
For this reason, TECH has designed this Hybrid Master's Degree where theoretical specifications and practical management of the most powerful techniques and tools of Radiation Oncology are combined, like no other program. In its design, the program consists of two distinct stages. The first one dedicates 1,500 hours to the conceptual approach of these latest developments, from a 100% online learning platform, where there is a proliferation of interactive resources and audiovisual materials to accompany the study process. Its very complete syllabus has been designed by top experts, who will offer a personalized guide to the physician for its complete mastery.
Also, in a second phase, the specialist will be able to develop a clinical practice in a prestigious health institution of the highest level in terms of applications of Radiation Oncology. From this center, and under the supervision of leading experts, the graduate will manipulate advanced technologies for the benefit of the therapeutic care of real patients. The on-site internship, which lasts 3 weeks, will expand their skills on everything they have assimilated in the first stage of their learning process. Therefore, they will acquire a preparation of excellence and will be at the forefront of this field of health.
You will master, through this Hybrid Master's Degree, the criteria to be taken into account to indicate the modality of neoadjuvant or concomitant radiotherapy, according to the condition of each patient”
This Hybrid Master's Degree in Radiation Oncology contains the most complete and up-to-date program on the market. Its most outstanding features are:
- More than 100 clinical cases presented by professionals in Radiation Oncology
- The graphic, schematic, and practical contents with which they are created, provide scientific and practical information on the disciplines that are essential for professional practice
- Comprehensive systematized action plans for the main pathologies in the Radiation Oncology unit
- Presentation of practical workshops on diagnostic and therapeutic techniques for oncology patients
- An algorithm-based interactive learning system for decision-making in the clinical situations presented throughout the course
- Practical clinical guides on approaching different pathologies
- All this will be complemented by theoretical lessons, questions to the expert, debate forums on controversial topics, and individual reflection assignments
- Content that is accessible from any fixed or portable device with an Internet connection
- Furthermore, you will be able to carry out a clinical internship in one of the best hospitals
You will have, thanks to TECH, 3 weeks of internship in one of the best clinical centers, which will be a complete immersion in the latest developments in Radiation Oncology”
This Hybrid Master's Degree program, which has a professionalizing nature and a hybrid learning modality, is aimed at updating professionals in Radiation Oncology who require a high level of qualification. The contents are based on the latest scientific evidence, and oriented in a educational way to integrate theoretical knowledge in the medical practice, to facilitate the updating of knowledge and allow decision-making in patient management.
Thanks to the multimedia content, developed with the latest educational technology, will allow the medical professional a situated and contextual learning, i.e., a simulated environment that will provide immersive learning programmed to train in real situations. This program is designed around Problem-Based Learning, whereby the professional must try to solve the different professional practice situations that arise throughout the program. For this purpose, students will be assisted by an innovative interactive video system created by renowned and experienced experts.
With this innovative Hybrid Master's Degree, you will have access to multiple theoretical contents, up-to-date according to international trends"
This immersive, comprehensive and intensive program brings together the most up-to-date trends in Radiation Oncology so that you can become a specialist with a broad professional spectrum"
Syllabus
The syllabus of this Hybrid Master's Degree consists of several academic modules where the physician will find a broad overview of the basics of radiotherapy treatment and radiobiology. In addition, they will examine the most modern techniques that best suit specific conditions such as gynecological, urological, thoracic and central nervous system tumors, among others. In addition, the academic plan devotes special attention to the approach to pain in cancer patients and the nutritional care that these patients require. In order to master all these aspects, TECH will provide the specialist with a 100% online and interactive learning platform of the highest level.
