This program consists of a 3-week in-person training stay, from Monday to Friday, with 8-hour consecutive sessions alongside an attending hematologist. This training will allow the participant to work with real patients, alongside a team of experts in the field of Hematology, applying the most innovative diagnostic procedures for each case.

The clinical procedures for identifying different blood-related pathologies will be carried out succinctly, and the specialist will receive detailed examples from experts on how to act ethically and find an appropriate prognosis. The specialist will also always have the option of receiving a second opinion from one of the assigned hospital tutors whenever needed.

In this training proposal, each activity is designed to strengthen and perfect the key competencies required for specialized practice in this area. This will maximize the professional profile, driving solid, efficient, and highly competitive performance.

This is an opportunity to monitor patients while applying the most modern diagnostic tools and cutting-edge therapies for each pathology. It is the best way to understand and integrate health processes through innovative tools and in a setting guided by experts who lead the specialist towards diagnosing real cases.

The practical training will be conducted with the guidance and support of professors and fellow trainees, facilitating teamwork and multidisciplinary integration as transversal competencies for medical practice (learning to be and learning to relate).

The following procedures will form the foundation of the training, and their execution will depend on the availability, routine, and workload of the center. The proposed activities are as follows:

Train at an institution that can offer you all these possibilities, with an innovative academic program and a human team capable of developing you to the maximum.

Thanks to this Internship program you will be able to integrate new techniques and update your knowledge of the latest Advances in Hematology and Hemotherapy "

The numerous areas in which lymphatic conditions are treated require specific knowledge in hematologic oncology, genetics, immunotherapy, cardiovascular risks, blood transfusions, bone marrow transplants, anticoagulants, anemias, artificial blood, among others. This multidisciplinarity is what forces the healthcare labor market to demand experts with rigorous knowledge that can respond to a health care area, with more effective diagnoses and proper management of innovative tools to project the effectiveness of treatments. 

For this reason, TECH offers an Internship program in prestigious hospitals so that specialists can develop clinical techniques in the real scenario. This internship program will consist of 3 weeks of learning, integrating the latest technological tools. In addition, they will be supported and monitored by professionals who belong to the team of experts of the health centers.  

This experience will allow graduates to join a team of specialists of the highest level, with whom they will work actively in the management of the different patients who come to their respective offices during this period. In this way, you will be able to get up to date, not only with the most effective medical strategies, but you will be able to implement the most assertive communication skills in your practice. Undoubtedly, a complete program that will elevate your clinical talent to the highest level. 

TECH, in order to guarantee the maximum performance and learning possible during the stay, will assign you a tutor, who will support you throughout the learning process and ensure that all the requirements for which this Internship Program has been designed are met. This will give you the seal of guarantee and quality you need.
