Get updated in the most modern approach to Obstetric Emergencies both in the different periods of pregnancy and in labor and postpartum"

Nowadays it is common in large hospitals for the obstetric and gynecological emergency services to be independent of the general hospital emergency services. This is an important feature, since the midwife must not only be prepared to deal with obstetric pathology itself, but also with all types of non-obstetric complaints that may occur to the pregnant woman.

Among her daily tasks is not only emergency care, but also assistance in the delivery room and operating room, where the life of the patient, both mother and fetus, are in danger. Therefore, it is vitally important that healthcare professionals are prepared to deal with any type of unexpected situation in the normal course of a pregnancy, both in the early stages of pregnancy and in subsequent trimesters.

The modules that make up this Master's Degree delve precisely into the latest and most interesting issues in the area of Obstetric and Neonatal Emergencies for Midwives. Health professionals will carry out an extensive and in-depth review of non-obstetric pathologies present during pregnancy, frequent neonatal emergencies distinguished by stages, cardiopulmonary resuscitation and special situations such as pseudocyesis or gender violence during pregnancy.

All this under a unique theoretical and practical perspective, as the teaching team has made special emphasis on each topic through numerous multimedia resources of high quality, useful in the work of contextualization of all the theory. The numerous real clinical cases, complementary readings and self-knowledge exercises to which the midwife has access during the course are a distinctive advantage to update herself in a much more effective and comprehensive way.

Taking into account that taking on a program of this nature is usually a complicated task for the midwife, TECH has eliminated both the presential classes as well as the usual pre-fixed schedules in this type of program. This means that there is total freedom to assume the teaching load at the pace you choose, being able to download the entire syllabus from any device with an Internet connection.

Incorporate into your daily practice the updated approach to pathologies such as specific gestational dermatoses, ectopic pregnancy, premature rupture of membranes and labor dystocias"

This Master's Degree in Obstetric and Neonatal Emergencies for Midwives contains the most complete and up-to-date scientific program on the market. The most important features include:

• The examination of practical cases presented by experts in Emergencies Obstetric and Neonatal
• Graphic, schematic, and practical contents with which they are created, provide scientific and practical information on the disciplines that are essential for professional practice
• Practical exercises where self-assessment can be used to improve learning
• Its special emphasis on innovative methodologies
• 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

All content will be available from the first day of your program, and you can download each topic and supplementary material at your own pace and interests"

The program’s teaching staff includes professionals from the sector who contribute their work experience to this educational program, as well as renowned specialists from leading societies and prestigious universities.

Its multimedia content, developed with the latest educational technology, will allow professionals to learn in a contextual and situated learning environment, i.e., a simulated environment that will provide immersive education programmed to prepare in real situations.

The design of this program focuses on Problem-Based Learning, by means of which professionals must try to solve the different professional practice situations that are presented to them throughout the academic year. For this purpose, the student will be assisted by an innovative interactive video system created by renowned and experienced experts.

You will have the constant support and advice of the largest online academic institution in the world"

You will gain privileged access to real clinical cases and a practical approach to each of the topics covered throughout the syllabus"

In order to facilitate as much as possible the study work by midwives, TECH has used the pedagogical methodology of Relearning in the development of all the content of this program. This means that the most important terms and concepts of Obstetric and Neonatal Emergencies are repeated repeatedly throughout the syllabus. In this way, a much more natural and effective update is achieved, avoiding that midwives must invest large amounts of study hours to incorporate all the acquired knowledge to their daily practice.

You will be able to go deeper into each topic through detailed videos, clinical cases and high quality readings provided by the teaching team"
