Thanks to this postgraduate diploma you will be up to date in the diagnostic advances of the musculoskeletal pathology of the scapular girdle"

The scapular girdle is a complex anatomical area of great importance for arm movement. However, despite the wide variety of lesions and pathologies that can affect this region, some of these can be difficult to detect. This factor can increase the risk of an injury in this area going undiagnosed or misdiagnosed, which can lead to inadequate medical care and complications in the management of the injury. This is why it is important for physicians to keep up to date with the latest techniques for image interpretation and pathology evaluation, as well as the most advanced techniques for treating injuries affecting this area of the body.

In this context, TECH has developed a postgraduate diploma, which will allow the specialist to keep up to date with the diagnosis of musculoskeletal conditions of the scapular girdle. During 6 months of intensive updating, the graduate will deepen in Surgery and Osteology of the Shoulder and Glenohumeral Joint. He will also delve into diagnostic imaging, Nuclear Medicine in shoulder pathologies and evaluation scales and quality of life.

Since the program is 100% online, the professional will have the excellent opportunity to combine his or her daily responsibilities with those of updating his or her knowledge. Also, thanks to the Relearning method, you will explore in detail the fundamental aspects of the curriculum, strengthening the updated concepts.

With this program you will delve into the Glenohumeral Joint, its arthrology, capsule and ligaments"

This postgraduate diploma in Diagnosis of the Musculoskeletal Pathology of the Shoulder Girdle contains the most complete and up-to-date scientific program on the market. The most important features include:

• The development of case studies presented by expert orthopedic surgeons
• 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
• Practical exercises where self-assessment can be used to improve learning
• Its special emphasis on innovative methodologies
• 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

In only 6 months you will deepen your knowledge of the anatomy of the Acromioclavicular, Sternoclavicular and Scapulothoracic joints"

The program’s teaching staff includes professionals from sector who contribute their work experience to this educational program, as well as renowned specialists from leading societies and prestigious universities.

Its 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 education programmed to learn in real situations.

The design of this program focuses on Problem-Based Learning, by means of which the professional must try to solve the different professional practice situations that are presented throughout the academic course. For this purpose, the student will be assisted by an innovative interactive video system created by renowned experts.

You will identify, throughout this program, the revolutionary techniques to maintain the stability and movement of the Shoulder Girdle Muscles"

Update your knowledge of the nerves and blood vessels of the shoulder and their relationship to surgical approaches to treating injuries in this area"

The main purpose of this program is to provide the physician with the latest information on the diagnosis of musculoskeletal disorders of the Shoulder and Scapula region. In this way, it will be able to improve medical care and clinical outcomes for patients suffering from these types of diseases. All this will be achieved through a 100% online modality and taking advantage of the most avant-garde educational methodology in the present pedagogical field.
