New advances in gynecologic oncology drive us to develop new programs that meet the real needs of experienced professionals, so that they can incorporate new advances into their daily practice”

Vulvar cancer is the fifth most common genital cancer for women. Sometimes it goes unnoticed because it occurs in elderly women for whom the proper recognition and diagnosis of the disease is very difficult. In many cases these women also have mixed symptomatology of benign diseases, which further complicates the diagnosis of differences.

It is essential for specialist physicians to be up to date with the main issues relating to the Vulvar Cancer Epidemiology and Diagnosis, since the wide-ranging advances that are constantly being made and published must be transferred to daily medical practice.

This program is aimed at providing the professional with an update on the epidemiology, causes and the entire diagnostic process for vulvar tumor pathology.

You will be able to learn about the latest advances in the Vulvar Cancer Epidemiology and Diagnosis using the latest educational technology”

This postgraduate certificate in Vulvar Cancer Epidemiology and Diagnosis contains the most complete and up-to-date scientific program on the market. Its most notable features are:

• The examination of clinical cases, presented by specialists in gynecologic oncology 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
• An update on the epidemiology of vulvar cancer
• Diagnostic techniques and procedures for vulvar cancer
• An algorithm-based interactive learning system for decision-making in the clinical situations presented throughout the course.
• All of this will be complemented by theoretical lessons, questions to the expert, debate forums on controversial topics, and individual reflection assignments.
• Content that is accessible from any fixed or portable device with an Internet connection

This postgraduate certificate is the best investment you can make when selecting a refresher program, for two reasons: in addition to updating your knowledge on the Vulvar Cancer Epidemiology and Diagnosis, you will obtain a postgraduate certificate issued from TECH Technological University"

The teaching staff includes a team of leading gynecologists who bring their professional experience to this postgraduate certificate, in addition to renowned specialists in other medical areas.

The multimedia content developed with the latest educational technology will provide the physician with situated and contextual learning, i.e., a simulated environment that will provide immersive training programmed to train in 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, you will be assisted by an innovative, interactive video system created by renowned and experienced experts in the field of gynecologic oncology with extensive teaching experience.

Incorporate the latest developments in the Ovarian Cancer Epidemiology and Diagnosis into your medical practice and improve the prognosis of your patients"

It includes clinical cases and real images in high definition to bring clinical practice as close as possible to the development of the program"

The main objective is oriented to allow the incorporation of the advances that are taking place in the approach to vulvar cancer, 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 refresher program will provide you with the skills required for confident decision-making during the diagnostic process, and will help you to grow professionally"
