Introduction to the Program
Update yourself, thanks to this Hybrid Professional Master's Degree, in the use of ultrasound as a method of diagnosis and monitoring of musculoskeletal injuries, enjoying an opportunity to make a 3-week practical stay in a center of international prestige"
Physiotherapy has been gradually incorporating to its work area numerous tools that have made its work more precise and effective. One of them is ultrasound for musculoskeletal injury diagnosis, which has become an indispensable technique for professionals. Therefore, you need access to the most updated knowledge in this area, so that you can provide your patients and users with the most effective procedures.
Throughout this Hybrid Professional Master's Degree, physiotherapists will be able to delve into latest developments in issues such as types of images and different tissue patterns in ultrasound, sciatic nerve exploration, forefoot dynamic tests, advantages and disadvantages of ultrasound or the most common tendon pathology, among others.
This way, professionals will be able to update their knowledge through an online teaching methodology, which will allow them to continue developing their personal and work life without interruption, and later on, to carry out an on-site stay, being able to put everything they have learned throughout the program.
This internship takes place in a prestigious clinical center for 3 intensive weeks, from Monday to Friday and for 8 consecutive hours. This ensures that students will be able to consolidate all skills obtained by coming into contact with real patients while being accompanied by leading specialists in physiotherapy, experts in ultrasound as a diagnostic method.
The theoretical-practical period is combined with a stay in a prestigious center so that you can update your knowledge in the most effective way"
This Hybrid Master's Degree in Musculoskeletal Ultrasound in Physiotherapy contains the most complete and up-to-date scientific program on the market. The most important features include:
- Development of more than 100 clinical cases presented by physiotherapy professionals who are ultrasound experts using ultrasound as a diagnosis method
- 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
- Presentation of practical workshops on diagnostic techniques
- Interactive learning based system focused on effective decision making in clinical situations
- 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
- In addition, you will be able to perform a clinical internship in one of the best hospitals in the country
The best way to assimilate new knowledge is through practice, so this program is perfect for physiotherapists looking for a complete and immediate update"
In this proposal for a Master's Degree, of a professionalizing nature and blended learning modality, the program is aimed at updating physiotherapists who perform their functions in clinical centers and hospitals, and who require a high level of qualification. The contents are based on the latest scientific evidence, and oriented in an educational way to integrate theoretical knowledge into practice, and the theoretical-practical elements will facilitate knowledge update and decision-making in patient management.
Thanks to their multimedia content developed with the latest educational technology, they will allow the physiotherapy professional to obtain situated and contextual learning, i.e. a simulated environment that will provide immersive learning programmed to train in real situations. This program is designed around Problem-Based Learning, whereby the physician must try to solve the different professional practice situations that arise during the course. For this purpose, the students will be assisted by an innovative interactive video system created by renowned and experienced experts.
This program has been designed to bring physiotherapists closer to the best applications of ultrasound, allowing them to offer new services in their own clinics after completing their Certificate"
Thanks to innovative contents and a prestigious teaching staff, you will learn about latest developments in ultrasound-guided treatments"
