The world's largest faculty of medicine”
Introduction to the Program
Gracias a este Postgraduate certificate 100% online, obtendrás una sólida capacitación teórica y práctica en el manejo de recién nacidos prematuros y aquellos con patologías neonatales”
Los Neonatal Intensive Care siguen siendo fundamentales para garantizar la supervivencia y el desarrollo saludable de los recién nacidos prematuros o con problemas de salud. Sin embargo, persisten desafíos como la escasez de personal capacitado y la necesidad de recursos adecuados para mantener la calidad de atención.
Por ello, se ha desarrollado este Postgraduate certificate, que ofrecerá una sólida capacitación y abordará aspectos fundamentales y avanzados en la atención neonatal. En este sentido, los médicos analizarán las técnicas esenciales de monitorización del neonato, determinando el tipo de soporte respiratorio más adecuado en la etapa neonatal, así como el manejo de la nutrición de los recién nacidos con patologías. Así, se proporcionará una base sólida para comprender y abordar los desafíos iniciales en la atención intensiva neonatal.
Asimismo, los profesionales adquirirán conocimientos especializados en la fisiopatología de condiciones como la Enfermedad de la Membrana Hialina (EMH) y la Hipertensión Pulmonar Persistente (HPP), así como habilidades en el diagnóstico y tratamiento de la Sepsis Neonatal. Además, el plan de estudios se centrará en el manejo de casos complejos, como los Neonatos Prematuros Extremos, las Cardiopatías Congénitas y los Trastornos Neurológicos, brindando a los egresados las herramientas necesarias para abordar estas situaciones con eficacia y precisión.
En esta situación, TECH ha desarrollado un programa completo en línea, especialmente diseñado para ajustarse a las necesidades individuales del alumnado, eliminando la necesidad de asistir físicamente a un lugar o cumplir con horarios establecidos. Adicionalmente, se respalda en la revolucionaria metodología Relearning, consistente en la repetición de conceptos esenciales para garantizar una comprensión óptima y orgánica de los contenidos.
