New circumstances in gynecologic oncology have pushed us to develop new educational programs that meet the real needs of experienced professionals, so that they can incorporate new advances into their daily practice"

Gynecologic Oncology has undergone impressive development in the past few years. Both gynecology and oncology face increasingly complex challenges due to the development of diagnostic and therapeutic techniques. Professionals must also get to grips with technological and IT innovations and the use of biomaterials and new, much more conservative surgical procedures.

This update program is designed to respond to the need and growing demand of health professionals to specialize in specific aspects of Endometrial Cancer, as well as the breadth and precision of knowledge about Endometrial Cancer that is constantly being discovered and published. Furthermore, it is necessary to establish specific accreditation processes for specialists who are professionally involved in the area of Endometrial Cancer.

Teachers with expertise in each of the areas covered, as well as the international nature of this degree make it unique in its field. In addition, thanks to this postgraduate diploma, the student will be able to conceptually manage the principles of tumor biology and targeted medical treatments, as well as all issues related to the diagnosis and treatment of endometrial tumors in women.

This postgraduate diploma in Endometrial Cancer will allow you to learn about the latest advances in the field, using the latest educational technology"

This postgraduate diploma in Endometrial Cancer contains the most complete and up-to-date scientific program on the market. Its most notable features are: 

• The examination of clinical cases, recorded with POV (Point of View) systems from different angles, presented by experts in gynecology and other disciplines 
• The graphic, schematic, and practical contents with which they are created, provide scientific and practical information on the disciplines that are essential for professional practice 
• Presentation of practical workshops on procedures and techniques. 
• An algorithm-based interactive learning system for decision-making in the clinical situations presented throughout the course. 
• Action protocols and clinical practice guidelines, which cover the most important latest developments in this specialist area. 
• All of this will be complemented by theoretical lessons, questions to the expert, debate forums on controversial topics, and individual reflection assignments. 
• Special emphasis on test-based medicine and research methodologies in oncology 
• Content that is accessible from any fixed or portable device with an Internet connection 

This postgraduate diploma may be the best investment you can make when selecting a refresher program, for two reasons: in addition to updating your knowledge in Endometrial Cancer you will obtain a postgraduate diploma issued by TECH Technological University"

The teaching staff includes a team of renowned gynecologists and oncologists, who bring their professional experience to this program, in addition to recognized specialists belonging to leading scientific societies.

The multimedia content developed with the latest educational technology will provide the professional with situated and contextual learning, i.e. a simulated environment that will provide an immersive program to prepare for real situations.

This program is designed around Problem-Based Learning, whereby the specialist must try to solve the different professional practice situations that arise throughout the program. To do this, they will be assisted by an innovative, interactive video system created by renowned and experienced experts in the field of gynecology and oncology with extensive teaching experience.

Incorporate the latest developments in the approach to Endometrial Cancer into your daily practice and improve the prognosis of your patients"

Seize the opportunity and take the next step to get up to date on the latest developments in treatment for Endometrial Cancer"

The main objective is to incorporate advances in the approach to Endometrial Cancer in women, ensuring that the specialist can update their knowledge in a practical way, with the latest educational technology and adapting the educational process to their real needs.

This program will give you a sense of assurance when making decisions about Endometrial Cancer, and will help you grow both professionally”
