A modern study at your fingertips and 100% online, which will give you the keys to use digital tools and use them to improve healthcare processes"

The growing advances in information and communication technologies (ICT) applied to the healthcare field mean that dissemination is within the reach of professionals to turn them into experts. The contribution and incorporation of engineers in medicine is increasingly necessary. Hence, professionals in this area should know the methodologies to make their contribution in the labor market more beneficial.All this in order to avoid the collapse of health centers and increase their productivity exponentially, streamlining processes. This is how Industry 4.0 emerges, which in medicine applies databases for the contrasting of global diseases and stops depending on long lists of patients.

TECH has identified the request for expert engineers who can implement from bibliographic resources, to the management of health centers or the creation of parts through 3D printing. Automating a project will always make them more correct and exempt them from possible human errors. This program aims to train students to analyze the allocation of medical resources, to interpret the basis of clinical trials and to put into practice the methodology of scientific research.

In addition, students will be provided with a complete syllabus, designed by engineers specialized in clinical research, who will be available to answer any questions during the course of the program. In order to prepare students, TECH provides them with audiovisual and downloadable 100% digital content, which will allow them to consult the concepts, even after completing the Postgraduate diploma.

Enroll in a program that will not only teach you how the healthcare system works, but will also instruct you to identify possible ethical errors that may occur in it"

This Postgraduate diploma in Health System. Clinical Medicine and Research contains the most complete and up-to-date program on the market. The most important features include:

• The development of practical cases presented by experts in clinical research
• The graphic, schematic and eminently practical contents with which it is designed provide clinical and practical information on those 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

Do you still believe that the architecture of hospitals does not influence their productivity? Take part in decisions as important as the management of healthcare centers with this Postgraduate diploma"

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 the professional a situated and contextual learning; that is, a simulated environment that will provide an immersive education programmed to learn 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 during the course. For this purpose, the student will be assisted by an innovative interactive video system created by renowned and experienced experts. 

In less than six months you will be able to recognize a correct methodology in scientific research and make public communications of your own results"

Knowing how to adapt to the mutation of Industry 4.0 is a must for great engineers like you. Delve into Big Data and leave conventionality behind"

This syllabus has been agreed with the professionals who teach the Postgraduate diploma to certify optimal learning of the subject. For this reason, the Engineering graduate who chooses to take this program will obtain an enriching and complete syllabus based on clinical diagnosis, health center management and clinical research. This knowledge will be transmitted through a Relearning methodology, which will allow the student to assimilate in a constant and simple way an up-to-date teaching in the latest scientific incorporations. The program is supported by downloadable audiovisual materials, which instruct students with practical cases that will bring them closer to the real cases they will encounter in the future.

Forget pre-set schedules, TECH customizes your study so that the time and the level of depth of the subject adapts to you"
