Professional Master's Degree in Diagnosis and Treatment in Pediatric Cardiology and Congenital Heart Disease
One of the most complex challenges faced by the obstetrician is to identify the existence of asymmetries and irregularities in the cardiac cavities or vessels of newborns. This is justified, since heart disease is one of the most common congenital malformations in neonates, being the second most frequent cause of death in them. Although most cases can be treated to be saved, a rigorous knowledge of the subject is required. That is why in TECH Technological University we developed the Professional Master's Degree in Diagnosis and Treatment in Pediatric Cardiology and Congenital Heart Disease, a postgraduate program that will give a plus to the graduate's career so that they can develop with total confidence in one of the areas that has the greatest weight in prenatal and postpartum clinical intervention. Influencing the health of a newborn is a highly rewarding challenge for personal and professional development. Here at TECH, we offer the great opportunity to experience it with all the expertise that demands the quality of good practice.
Become an expert in pediatric cardiology
50% of neonates with congenital heart disease require early life-saving surgery, according to a report published by the Garrahan Pediatric Hospital in Argentina. The bottom of the matter lies in the need for more professionals versed in anamnesis and subsequent procedures to deal with such disorders. Within the educational field there are few offers to specialize in this aspect, because it is a very precise knowledge, acquired only in the internal practice of clinics and hospitals. That is why our program is a tool to change that paradigm, qualifying highly competitive experts from the ease and effectiveness of our online teaching methodology. We will teach students from fetal cardiology, to the various surgical and anesthetic techniques that must be available for the intensive care of congenital heart disease. They do not have to resort to extensive and cumbersome on-site postgraduate courses to enhance their curriculum, with TECH, they are just a click away from achieving the excellence and professional renown they are looking for.
