Join one of the leading clinical centers in Urological Surgery and access a state-of-the-art and modern healthcare environment to continue updating your knowledge"

In recent years, there have been many surgical advances and innovations in the urological field. In particular, minimally invasive surgery techniques, the use of lasers, robotics, digital endoscopes, among others, are distinguished. Based on these procedures, science has led to a faster recovery and a better prognosis for patients. In addition, all these diagnostic and therapeutic options generate a high volume of information that sometimes makes it difficult to reconcile daily clinical and surgical practice. It is therefore essential for physicians to be able to respond adequately to the evolution of scientific and technological knowledge, and to the evolution of their field of action in the different healthcare systems, by means of appropriate training. 

This exclusively practical program brings students up to date with the technological breakthrough in the disciplines dedicated to the care of patients with urological pathologies. These innovations have led to improved scientific and clinical knowledge about the diagnosis and care of urinary tract diseases. During this program, the student will handle all these equipments and apply their functionalities for the diagnosis and therapy of complex conditions. These include novel techniques for the development of renal transplants and the removal of malignant tumors. At the same time, the student will be updated on the anatomical and pathological differences that distinguish the female and male apparatus and that have been recently discovered.

All this will take place through a face-to-face stay, 100% practical, in an institution of international prestige in the hospital field and in the field of Urological Surgery. Throughout this training, patients with various pathologies affecting the kidneys and urinary tract will be treated by the best specialists, using the latest techniques based on scientific evidence, and achieving results previously difficult to achieve. The academic process will be closely supervised by a designated tutor. This expert will be in charge of supervising the student's progress, as well as including him/her in surgical procedures of varying complexity. 

Make your internship a high-impact training experience, learning in a cutting-edge and innovative hospital, with the best medical technology and alongside renowned professionals in the sector”

 The objective of this program is to achieve an update on the latest diagnostic and therapeutic procedures regarding urological surgeries. This training will be developed in an exclusively practical way, through a hospital stay designed with clinical and academic rigor. In addition, the entire educational process will be supervised by top professionals, in a hospital center recognized for its high technological innovation.

Make the most of this opportunity to surround yourself with expert professionals and learn from their work methodology”
