Introduction to the Program

Enroll in this Internship program that will allow you to make a face-to-face, intensive and immersive stay, to get the most advanced knowledge in relation to the therapeutics of musculoskeletal injuries from the vision of Sports Medicine”

In little more than a decade, Sports Medicine has undergone considerable progress, driven by the exhaustive and detailed use of tools such as Computerized Axial Tomography, Ultrasound or Magnetic Resonance Imaging for the diagnosis of musculoskeletal injuries. Likewise, this health field has advanced with respect to the development of new therapies and the assessment of the disadvantages of others already used, such as infiltrations. In turn, keeping up to date on all these aspects has become a complex task for specialists due to the shortcomings of the educational programs in the market, where a high theoretical load on these issues prevails.  

For this reason, TECH has designed a study modality that adapts to the current professional reality, which guarantees each doctor the in situ learning of different skills for clinical, nutritional and rehabilitation care for high performance athletes. During 3 weeks, you will develop a face-to-face stay in a hospital center equipped with the latest resources for the diagnosis and treatment of real cases. Also in that instance, you will be able to apply innovative procedures that combine different care therapies.  

Postgraduates will join the Internship program until they complete 120 educational hours, Monday through Friday. In these clinical practices, they will have access to the best hospital facilities, equipped with state-of-the-art technologies and extensive experience in the development of advanced therapies for sports injuries. In these entities, they will also meet prestigious experts and will work together with them to acquire the most rigorous experiences. In addition, an assistant tutor will monitor your progress and help you incorporate new strategies into your professional practice.
