Introduction to the Program

This Hybrid Master's Degree will make you an up-to-date specialist capable of performing surgical procedures and using the latest technologies in the field of Proctology” 

Like other medical fields, Proctology puts special interest in the early diagnosis of the pathologies under its care and intervention. Therefore, in recent years, increasingly sophisticated tools such as anal manometry, Rectoscopy, dynamic endorectal ultrasound, among others, have emerged. From the efficient identification of these instruments, this area of medicine has also searched for non-invasive procedures and surgical techniques of greater scope. In this way, the health discipline has incorporated elements such as the surgical laser, the ultrasonic scalpel or electrosurgical treatments. However, not all specialists are up-to-date on these scientific and technological advances, which puts them at a disadvantage with respect to other professionals in the market. The reasons for this problem are diverse, but in recent years, the absence of pedagogical programs that integrate the knowledge and skills essential for the proctologist's update has gained significant importance.  

For this reason, TECH has designed an academic program, pioneer in its kind, which combines the most imperative academic needs of Proctology professionals. This Hybrid Master's Degree consists of two well-differentiated stages. In the first stage, the specialist will dedicate 1,500 hours to the theoretical study of the latest concepts in this area of medicine. To this end, they will have a 100% online learning platform, where the contents will be integrated with various multimedia resources such as infographics and videos. At the same time, the educational modality is supported by innovative didactic methodologies such as Relearning, which provide the graduate with a faster and more flexible assimilation.  

After this initial phase, a rigorous and demanding clinical internship will take place, which lasts 3 weeks. Throughout this intensive on-site stay, the proctologist will be able to manipulate the most advanced technology in a comprehensive and prestigious hospital environment. At these facilities, they will have the support and advice of leading experts in the field.  In addition, an attending tutor will supervise their progressand will incorporate more complex dynamics and tasks into their professional practice. After completing these two pedagogical stages, the physician will be ready to implement all these innovations in their professional practice with the utmost excellence.  

In 1,620 hours of theoretical and practical learning, you will be ready to face the latest medical challenges in the field of Proctology”

This Hybrid Master's Degree in Proctology contains the most complete and up-to-date scientific program on the market. Its most outstanding features are:

  • Development of more than 100 clinical cases presented by professionals in Proctology and university professors with extensive experience
  • The graphic, schematic, and practical contents with which they are created, provide scientific and practical information on the disciplines that are essential for professional practice
  • Comprehensive systematized action plans for the main pathologies in Proctology
  • Presentation of practical workshops on diagnostic and therapeutic techniques
  • An algorithm-based interactive learning system for decision-making in the clinical situations presented throughout the course

nature and a hybrid learning modality, is aimed at updating Proctologists who require a high level of qualification. The contents are based on the latest scientific evidence, and oriented in a educational way to integrate theoretical knowledge in the medical practice, and the theoretical-practical elements will facilitate the updating of knowledge and allow decision-making in the management of the patient. 

Thanks to the multimedia content, developed with the latest educational technology, will allow the medical professional a situated and contextual learning, i.e., a simulated environment that will provide immersive learning programmed to train in real situations. This program is designed around Problem-Based Learning, whereby the physician must try to solve the different professional practice situations that arise during the course. For this purpose, the student will be assisted by an innovative interactive video system created by renowned experts.
