Introduction to the Program

Un programa exhaustivo y 100% online, exclusivo de TECH y con una perspectiva internacional respaldada por nuestra afiliación con Pacific Spine and Pain Society” 

De acuerdo con un reciente informe publicado por la Organización Mundial de la Salud, cada año se producen más de 750.000 Fracturas Vertebrales a causa del envejecimiento poblacional y accidentes de alta energía. Ante esta situación, los Avances en técnicas de estabilización, abordajes mínimamente invasivos y rehabilitación postoperatoria han mejorado significativamente la recuperación de las personas. Por ejemplo, los sistemas de navegación asistida han reducido las complicaciones neurológicas en un 30% y acelerado la movilidad temprana del usuario. Por este motivo, los médicos deben actualizar sus conocimientos frecuentemente para brindar un marco integral para el abordaje seguro y efectivo de las Lesiones en la Columna.  

En este contexto, TECH lanza un vanguardista Postgraduate certificate en Advances in Spinal Fracture Treatments. Diseñado por referentes en esta materia, el itinerario académico profundizará en los métodos diagnósticos más sofisticados para el diagnóstico temprano de dichas afecciones. Asimismo, el temario ahondará en el abordaje conservador y mínimamente invasivo para el manejo de Lesiones Torácicas, Lumbares y Cervicales. También, los materiales didácticos proporcionarán estrategias modernas para la detección y el control de complicaciones como las Hemorragias. A su vez, el programa ofrecerá las claves para utilizar herramientas tecnológicas de última generación para el seguimiento clínico. De esta manera, los egresados obtendrán competencias avanzadas para diseñar intervenciones que mejoren el bienestar general de los pacientes. 

Cabe destacar que esta propuesta académica se imparte bajo la disruptiva metodología del Relearning, consistente en la reiteración natural y progresiva de los aspectos más relevantes. Además, incluirá una rigurosa Masterclass a cargo de un prestigioso Director Invitado Internacional. 

Gracias a que TECH es miembro de la Pacific Spine and Pain Society (PSPS), sus egresados acceden a materiales clínicos actualizados y sesiones educativas centradas en afecciones de la columna. Esta afiliación les permite participar en simposios y foros especializados, conectando con expertos en dolor y cirugía espinal, y ampliando su red profesional en un campo altamente especializado.
