Introduction to the Program

Un estudio moderno a tu alcance y 100% online, que te dará las claves para utilizar las herramientas digitales y volcarlas en la mejora de los procesos de salud”

Los avances crecientes de las tecnologías de la información y la comunicación (TIC) aplicados a la rama sanitaria hacen que la divulgación esté al alcance de los profesionales para llegar a convertirlos en expertos. La aportación y la incorporación de ingenieros en la medicina es cada vez más necesaria. De ahí que los profesionales de esta área deban conocer las metodologías para hacer más beneficiosa su contribución en el mercado laboral. Todo ello con el fin de evitar el colapso de centros sanitarios y aumentar su productividad de manera exponencial, agilizando los procesos. Así emerge la industria 4.0, que en medicina aplica bases de datos para la contrastación de enfermedades globales y deja de depender de largas listas de pacientes.

TECH ha identificado la solicitud de ingenieros expertos que puedan poner en práctica desde los recursos bibliográficos, hasta la gestión de centros sanitarios o la creación de piezas mediante impresión 3D. Automatizar un proyecto siempre los hará más correctos y los eximirá de los posibles errores humanos. Esta titulación pretende capacitar a los alumnos para analizar la asignación de recursos médicos, interpretar las bases de los ensayos clínicos y poner en práctica la metodología de la investigación científica.

Además, el alumnado contará con un temario completo, diseñado por ingenieros especializados en investigación clínica, quienes estarán a su disposición para resolver cualquier duda durante el transcurso del programa. Para lograr la capacitación de los alumnos, TECH se dota de contenidos audiovisuales y descargables 100% digitales, que permitirán consultar los conceptos, incluso, una vez finalizado la Postgraduate diploma.

Matricúlate en un programa que no solo te enseñará el funcionamiento del sistema sanitario, sino que te instruirá para identificar posibles errores éticos que se produzcan en él”

Esta Postgraduate diploma en Health System. Clinical Medicine and Research contiene el programa educativo más completo y actualizado del mercado. Sus características más destacadas son: 

  • El desarrollo de casos prácticos presentados por expertos en investigación clínica
  • Los contenidos gráficos, esquemáticos y eminentemente prácticos con los que está concebido recogen una información clínica y práctica sobre aquellas disciplinas indispensables para el ejercicio profesional
  • Los ejercicios prácticos donde realizar el proceso de autoevaluación para mejorar el aprendizaje
  • Su especial hincapié en metodologías innovadoras 
  • Las lecciones teóricas, preguntas al experto, foros de discusión de temas controvertidos y trabajos de reflexión individual
  • La disponibilidad de acceso a los contenidos desde cualquier dispositivo fijo o portátil con conexión a internet

¿Aún crees que la arquitectura de los hospitales no influye en su productividad? Sé partícipe en decisiones tan importantes como la gestión de los centros sanitarios con esta Postgraduate diploma”

El programa incluye, en su cuadro docente, a profesionales del sector que vierten en esta capacitación la experiencia de su trabajo, además de reconocidos especialistas de sociedades de referencia y universidades de prestigio. 

Su contenido multimedia, elaborado con la última tecnología educativa, permitirá al profesional un aprendizaje situado y contextual; es decir, un entorno simulado que le proporcionará una capacitación inmersiva programada para entrenarse ante situaciones reales. 

El diseño de este programa se centra en el Aprendizaje Basado en Problemas, mediante el cual el profesional deberá tratar de resolver las distintas situaciones de práctica profesional que se le planteen a lo largo del curso académico. Para ello, contará con la ayuda de un novedoso sistema de vídeo interactivo realizado por reconocidos expertos. 

En menos de seis meses serás capaz de reconocer una correcta metodología en investigación científica y realizar comunicaciones públicas de tus propios resultados"

Saber adaptarse a la mutación de la industria 4.0 es un deber de grandes ingenieros como tú. Profundiza en el Big Data y deja atrás los convencionalismos"
