The oral cavity and the pharynx are the access points to the digestive tract, with marked involvement in the functions of both the digestive and respiratory apparatus. The clinical manifestations of this region are highly prevalent in general medicine consultations, but it is especially novel and of clinical interest to know the characteristics of swallowing disorders.

We begin with the study of the most relevant anatomy and physiology aspects of these regions, as well as their physiological characteristics applied to the swallowing. Aspects related to the pathophysiology of swallowing disorders will be evaluated. The etiological and epidemiological concepts of dysphagia will be discussed. We will cover clinical aspects and complications of swallowing disorders, their clinical and instrumental evaluation.

A comprehensive, quality upgrade that will allow you to advance in this area with confidence”

Efficiency-based learning on the fundamental premise of total flexibility, allowing you to train in a way that is compatible with other occupations”

Our teaching staff is composed of medical professionals, practising specialists. In this way, we ensure that we provide you with the training update we are aiming for. A multidisciplinary team of doctors trained and experienced in different environments, who will develop the theoretical knowledge in an efficient way, but, above all, will put at the service of the course the practical knowledge derived from their own experience: one of the differential qualities of this training.

This mastery of the subject is complemented by the effectiveness of the methodology used in the design of this course. Developed by a multidisciplinary team of e-learning experts, it integrates the latest advances in educational technology. This way, you will be able to study with a range of comfortable and versatile multimedia tools that will give you the operability you need in your training.

The design of this program is based on Problem-Based Learning: an approach that conceives learning as a highly practical process. To achieve this remotely, we will use telepractice:  with the help of an innovative interactive video system, and learning from an expert, you will be able to acquire the knowledge as if you were actually dealing with the scenario you are learning about. A concept that will allow you to integrate and fix learning in a more realistic and permanent way.

Postgraduate Certificate in Otology and Audiology

According to statistics compiled by the World Health Organization, about 5% of the total population suffers from some degree of hearing loss and urgently requires rehabilitation. These worrying statistics denote the great need that exists in the current health panorama for professionals trained to address this type of hearing care processes, being more than evident the extensive field of job opportunities available to audiologists and otologists. Understanding the important role of academic updating in the instruction and training of expert professionals in the area, at TECH Technological University we have designed our Postgraduate Certificate in Otology and Audiology. In this postgraduate course, special emphasis will be placed on the knowledge of new devices and technologies developed for the treatment of hearing loss. Likewise, we will deepen in the modernization of the following concepts: the possibilities present in the use of bone conduction implants in the processes of treatment of hearing loss; and the aspects and elements to be considered in the selection of the most appropriate hearing device with respect to the particular needs of the patient.

Study a postgraduate course 100% online

Due to the large number of technological, protocol and methodological innovations that have taken place in the field of audiology, it is necessary for professionals specialized in the field to have an updated knowledge of the new possibilities of intervention in the sector. In our program you will approach otology and audiology from the identification of the great current challenges that accompany their care processes, contemplating the important role of the professional in the resolution of these challenges, as well as in the development of the processes of evolution of the area. Likewise, this postgraduate course will delve into the updating of the following aspects: the identification of the different treatment alternatives used in the care of patients with severe sensorineural hearing loss; and the knowledge of the different middle ear implants used in the processes of care for hearing loss.
