Introduction to the Program
With TECH, you will be up to date on the major advances in modern Psychopharmacology, with an educational modality that combines in an exceptional way the practical and theoretical knowledge of this area of health"
Psychopharmacology has incorporated different medical contributions in recent years. From it, the health sector has been able to outline more personalized intervention strategies according to the symptomatology of each patient. At the same time, this discipline has investigated the discovery of neurotransmitters that condition a more efficient response to specific substances in pathologies such as Schizophrenia or Bipolar Disorder. This branch of science has also searched for those genes related to a certain psychological or psychiatric phenomenon in order to investigate the drug with the greatest precession against them. Simultaneously, the mastery of all these advances is a challenge for specialists in a context where the programs in this respect have a high theoretical load.
TECH, in its eagerness to contribute to the training of excellence of specialists, has designed a Hybrid Master's Degree that overcomes these shortcomings. To this end, it has developed an educational modality, pioneer in its kind, where knowledge and skills will be addressed in two different ways. First, the graduate will be updated on the latest trends in Psychopharmacology in a theoretical way. The contents in this pedagogical phase will be arranged in a 100% online and interactive learning platform. From there, you will access a syllabus prepared by distinguished experts and, under their personalized guidance, assimilate concepts quickly and flexibly.
Then, in a practical and face-to-face internship that lasts 3 weeks, the professional will develop different skills related to the mastery of the previous phase. In an intensive and immersive way, he will analyze the drugs, or combinations of them, that best fit real patients under his responsibility. He will also be mentored by an assistant tutor who will closely monitor his progress. The clinical training will take place in a hospital institution of maximum rigor, which will be chosen by the student, according to his immediate geographical location.
The use of drugs at the end of life, as part of the palliative care against pain, is another of the innovative edges that you will analyze through this Hybrid Master's Degree"
