Update with the latest news in the management of complications such as fetal macrosomia, genitourinary malformations and trophoblastic disease"

The demand on obstetric professionals is increasing, since the advances produced in the area of image acquisition and interpretation are clearly noticeable. These developments allow an early detection of many pathologies, being able to classify them even in the different periods of pregnancy, which affects the need for a much more improved and updated action by the specialist.

Being the second trimester one of the most complex at the level of analysis and interpretation of results, the possible complications arising both at the beginning and at the end of gestation should not be ignored. Hence the importance of obtaining a complete and comprehensive update in this area, which is why TECH has created the present program.

In this postgraduate diploma, the specialists will review the ultrasound techniques, test analysis and main complications that can arise throughout the pregnancy. From the protocols of action before pregnancies of uncertain location to spinal malformations or alterations of the amniotic fluid, the graduate will have a rigorous and current vision of the obstetric ultrasound of the 1st, 2nd and 3rd trimester of pregnancy.

The format of the program is also 100% online, which implies that neither face-to-face classes nor pre-set schedules should be followed. It is the students who have total freedom to assume the teaching load according to their own pace, adapting it to their needs at all times. To do this, all content available on the Virtual Campus Can be downloaded from any device with an Internet connection.

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 professionals 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 professionals must try to solve the different professional practice situations that are presented throughout the academic course. For this purpose, the students will be assisted by an innovative interactive video system created by renowned experts.

Examine appropriate invasive techniques in the first trimester, including amniocentesis and chorion biopsy"

Delve into pathologies and complications such as renal agenesis, umbilical hernia and placental tumors"

As a result of the continuous progress of Gynecology and Obstetrics, specialists in the area must make a continuous effort to keep up, especially when it comes to monitoring a pregnancy throughout all its stages. Therefore, the primary objective of this postgraduate diploma is not only to make a theoretical review of the most recent advances and developments, but also to offer the necessary contextualization in all of them to incorporate such advances in daily practice.
