Introduction to the Program

This Internship program will immerse you from the very beginning in the technical advances in the care of the critically ill cardiovascular patient"

As the field of cardiology is one with a propensity for numerous scientific advances and research, it is common for specialists in the area to continually seek access to the most advanced postulates or to update their knowledge through theoretical programs. However, a great alternative to access the latest developments is through an Internship program, getting directly involved in an ICU Service with special focus on Cardiovascular Critical Care.

For this reason TECH presents this program, in which the specialist will be integrated in Cardiovascular Critical Care in the ICU Service for 3 weeks. Accompanied by an expert who will serve as support throughout the process, the specialist will have access to the most rigorous approaches and the most effective guidelines for action in cardiac pathology, being a full part of the center's multidisciplinary team.

It is, therefore, a unique opportunity to get involved in a real environment, accessing the most advanced clinical material and being able to treat cardiac pathologies of various kinds in situ, in a defining experience for the updating of the medical professional. All this makes up a unique program, which moves away from the theoretical concept to respond to the practical updating needs of specialists.

The teaching materials of this program, elaborated by these specialists, have contents that are completely applicable to your professional experiences"
