New circumstances in gynecologic oncology have pushed us to develop new educational programs that meet the real needs of experienced professionals, so that they can incorporate the latest advances into their daily practice"

The high prevalence of recurrent cervical HPV infection in women makes this disease a major public health risk. Furthermore, Cervical Cancer is one of the only cancers that can be effectively prevented primarily through the use of prophylactic vaccines and secondly through screening techniques such as cervical cytology and HPV detection.

Thorough knowledge of the disease is essential both for general practitioners in terms of prevention and for specialist physicians providing treatment after an accurate diagnosis. It is, therefore, important for the professional to have in-depth knowledge of this disease, how to prevent it and how to manage it in case of failed prevention, but it is hard to find specific programs in this area.

By obtaining this postgraduate diploma, professionals can improve their understanding, help prevent disease, and establish their credentials in the field of cervical pathology and Cervical Cancer.

In short, thanks to this postgraduate diploma, the student will be able to conceptually manage the principles of tumor biology and targeted medical treatments, as well as all issues related to the diagnosis and treatment of cervical tumors in women.

• 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 procedures and techniques
• An algorithm-based interactive learning system for decision-making in the clinical situations presented throughout the course
• Action protocols and clinical practice guidelines, which cover the most important latest developments in this specialist area
• All of this will be complemented by theoretical lessons, questions to the expert, debate forums on controversial topics, and individual reflection assignments
• Special emphasis on test-based medicine and research methodologies in oncology 
• Content that is accessible from any fixed or portable device with an Internet connection 

This postgraduate diploma may be the best investment you can make when selecting a refresher program, for two reasons: in addition to updating your knowledge on Cervical Cancer, you will obtain a postgraduate diploma from TECH Technological University"

The teaching staff includes a team of renowned gynecologists and oncologists, who bring their professional experience to this program, in addition to recognized specialists belonging to leading scientific societies.

The 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 training program to train in real situations.

The design of this program focuses on problem-based learning, by means of which the specialist must try to solve the different professional practice situations that arise throughout the program. For this reason, you will be assisted by an innovative, interactive video system created by renowned and experienced experts in the field of gynecology and oncology with extensive teaching experience.
