Profundiza en las cuatro especialidades de la Pediatría que más avances han tenido en las últimas décadas, examinando novedades tanto técnicas como prácticas”

especializacion especialidades cirugia pediatrica

Áreas como la Cirugía Plástica Infantil pueden ser desconocidas para la mayoría de pediatras actualmente, pero lo cierto es que hoy en día cuentan con multitud de herramientas para tratar patologías como las quemaduras infantiles o secuelas cicatriciales. Asimismo, otros campos de conocimiento como las intervenciones quirúrgicas en vía aérea, tórax, cabeza y cuello pueden suponer un auténtico reto para los especialistas, lo que impulsa una mayor profundización y actualización en ellos.

A esta coyuntura se añade la necesidad creciente de contar con equipos multidisciplinares en el área pediátrica, capaces de atender toda la variedad de patologías y complicaciones que pueden presentar pacientes que van desde la infancia a la adolescencia. Dado que se demanda esta capacidad multidisciplinar con mayor ahínco, TECH ha elaborado una completa titulación que ahonda en todas ellas.

Así, en esta Postgraduate diploma el especialista accederá a las últimas novedades científicas y técnicas acerca de patologías y casuísticas como malformaciones craneofaciales, toracoscopia pediátrica, anomalías congénitas y tumores hepáticos benignos y malignos. Todo ello auspiciado por un cuadro docente de la máxima calidad, compuesto por expertos de referencia en cada campo de actuación.

Además, sabiendo que en muchas ocasiones resulta complejo compaginar una titulación de estas características con las propias responsabilidades o práctica diaria, TECH le ha conferido un formato enteramente online. Esto conlleva que todo el contenido está disponible para su descarga en el Campus Virtual, eliminando la necesidad tanto de clases presenciales como de horarios prefijados.

Adicionalmente, este programa instructivo contará con la participación de un Director Invitado Internacional de gran renombre, con una destacada trayectoria en Cirugía Pediátrica, y brindará a los alumnos acceso a Masterclasses enfocadas en las más recientes innovaciones de la disciplina.

Fortalece tu perfil con TECH y participa en unas Masterclasses excepcionales y suplementarias, guiadas por un prestigioso docente de gran reputación internacional en Cirugía Pediátrica” 

Esta Postgraduate diploma en Pediatric Surgery Specialties contiene el programa educativo más completo y actualizado del mercado. Sus características más destacadas son: 

  • El desarrollo de casos prácticos presentados por expertos Cirugía Pediátrica
  • Los contenidos gráficos, esquemáticos y eminentemente prácticos con los que está concebido recogen una información científica y práctica sobre aquellas disciplinas indispensables para el ejercicio profesional
  • Los ejercicios prácticos donde realizar el proceso de autoevaluación para mejorar el aprendizaje
  • Su especial hincapié en metodologías innovadoras 
  • Las lecciones teóricas, preguntas al experto, foros de discusión de temas controvertidos y trabajos de reflexión individual
  • La disponibilidad de acceso a los contenidos desde cualquier dispositivo fijo o portátil con conexión a internet

Ponte al día en todo lo relacionado con tumores óseos, patología mamaria en la infancia y adolescencia, patología tiroidea y patología pleuropulmonar”  

El programa incluye, en su cuadro docente, a profesionales del sector que vierten en esta capacitación la experiencia de su trabajo, además de reconocidos especialistas de sociedades de referencia y universidades de prestigio. 

Su contenido multimedia, elaborado con la última tecnología educativa, permitirá al profesional un aprendizaje situado y contextual, es decir, un entorno simulado que proporcionará una capacitación inmersiva programada para entrenarse ante situaciones reales. 

El diseño de este programa se centra en el Aprendizaje Basado en Problemas, mediante el cual el profesional deberá tratar de resolver las distintas situaciones de práctica profesional que se le planteen a lo largo del curso académico. Para ello, contará con la ayuda de un novedoso sistema de vídeo interactivo realizado por reconocidos expertos.
