Increase your knowledge of the procedures for addressing ocular surface and corneal disorders through this program, where you will find the best teaching material, high-definition images and real clinical cases. Learn about the latest advances in Diagnosis and Therapeutics techniques to provide quality care"

Dry eye is a very common pathology in ophthalmology, with a prevalence that ranges between 10 and 20% of the world population, although in Eastern countries it can be as high as 33%, according to data from the Spanish Ocular Surface and Cornea Group (GESOC). It is the most frequent reason for ophthalmic consultation, and can affect the quality of life and well-being of people who suffer from it to a greater or lesser extent.

This Postgraduate Certificate aims to respond to growing interest in this pathology, as well as other ocular surface and cornea disorders,  facilitating the acquisition of an advanced specialization in the diagnosis and treatment of eye diseases.

Throughout the Postgraduate Certificate, treatments on the physiology of the ocular surface and cornea are addressed, including the latest developments in the field of ocular surgery, and together with the latest developments in the area of amniotic membrane transplantation and stem cell surgery to treat ocular surface disorders.

This Postgraduate Certificate in Update on Ocular Surface and Cornea aims to update specialists on the advances that are being made in addressing surface pathologies, from the diagnostic to the therapeutic procedure, using the latest scientific evidence.

Refresh your knowledge through the Update on Ocular Surface and Cornea Postgraduate Certificate"

This postgraduate certificate in Update on Ocular Surface and Cornea comprises the most comprehensive and up-to-date scientific program on the market. The most important features of the postgraduate certificate are:

• Development of clinical cases presented by experts in eye surgery. The graphic, schematic, and eminently practical contents with which they are created contain clinical information that is indispensable for professional practice
• Diagnostic and therapeutic innovations in the management of patients with ocular surface and corneal pathology
• It uses practical exercises where learning can be improved through the self-evaluation process
• An interactive learning system based on algorithms for decision making in corneal pathology procedures in the clinical situations presented
• All of this will be complemented by theoretical lessons, questions to the expert, debate forums on controversial topics, and individual reflection assignments
• Content that is accessible from any fixed or portable device with an Internet connection

This postgraduate certificate may be the best investment you make in selecting an update program for two reasons: in addition to updating your knowledge on procedures for addressing ocular surface and cornea pathologies, you will obtain a postgraduate certificate certificate issued by TECH Technological University"

The teaching staff includes healthcare professionals from the field of ophthalmology, who bring their work experience to this specialization program, as well as renowned professionals from other specialties.

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 immersive training program to train in real situations.

Problem-Based Learning underpins the design of this program, and doctors must use it to try and solve the different professional practice situations that arise throughout the Postgraduate Certificate. To this end, you will be assisted by an innovative, interactive video system created by renowned and experienced experts in the field of ophthalmology who have extensive teaching experience.

This program offers training in simulated environments, which provides an immersive learning experience designed to prepare you for real-life situations"

It includes clinical cases to bring the program's degree as close as possible to the reality of medical care"

The main objective of the program is the development of theoretical and practical learning, so that physicians can master in a practical and thorough way the approach to patients with Ocular Surface and Cornea pathologies.

This update program will generate a sense of confidence when practising medicine, which will help you grow both personally and professionally”
