You'll master the most advanced techniques for postoperative follow-up, all thanks to the world's best digital university, according to Forbes”

Within the framework of advanced Radiotherapy procedures, nurses play a key role when it comes to patient care. In most cases, these experts are responsible for communicating relevant information about treatments to users. For this reason, it is essential that they acquire a comprehensive approach to issues such as therapy goals, therapy planning and the ways in which radiation therapy is administered. In this context, these professionals need to broaden their knowledge in this area and be at the technological forefront to offer services based on healthcare excellence.  

To help them with this specialization, TECH has implemented the most complete postgraduate diploma in the market, to provide professionals with the most effective Radiotherapy techniques. In this way, the curriculum will delve into the specificities of Brachytherapy, so that graduates minimize irradiation of healthy tissues and perform administration techniques to combat diseases such as prostate cancer.  

Likewise, they will delve into the handling of Mobile Linear Accelerators as well as intraoperative imaging systems. As a result, graduates will be highly qualified to participate in surgical procedures in Intraoperative Radiotherapy. The didactic materials will also focus on real-time monitoring during surgeries, which will make it possible to detect any change in the patients' conditions. 

In this way, the academic program is based on a 100% online methodology, providing greater flexibility and convenience to the students. In addition, the Relearning teaching system, focused on the repetition of key concepts to fix knowledge, facilitating a solid and lasting learning, and avoiding the extra effort involved in memorization. In this sense, the only thing the specialist will need to enter the Virtual Campus will be an electronic device with Internet access.  

You will acquire a broad knowledge of the Flash Technique, which will help you to provide quality emotional support to patients and their families"
