When patients undergo radiation therapy, they rely on the medical staff to apply the appropriate radiation doses to ensure their effectiveness.  To do this, experts must first thoroughly investigate their medical histories and carry out extensive planning to find the most appropriate therapies. In this context, the total body irradiation (TBI) procedure is crucial for destroying the remaining cancer cells in the body and helps to make room in the patients' bone marrow, allowing new blood stem cells to grow. To avoid risks of toxicity and damage to normal tissues, specialists must delve into less aggressive alternatives.  

In order to support them in this task, TECHhas developed a complete program that will delve into Clinical Dosimetry and all stages of the radiotherapy process to ensure the effectiveness of treatments. Under the support of an experienced teaching staff, the syllabus will address both the factors involved in dose distribution and calculation algorithms. The curriculum will also analyze various intensity-modulated treatments aimed at achieving optimization. In addition, the teaching materials will emphasize the use of 3D radiotherapy so that patients experience fewer side effects in contrast to other less conformal techniques.  

It should be noted that the methodology of this program reinforces its innovative character. TECH offers a 100% online learning environment, adapted to the needs of busy professionals seeking to advance their careers. In addition, it will employ the  Relearning methodology, based on the repetition of key concepts to fix knowledge and facilitate learning. In this way, the combination of flexibility and a robust pedagogical approach makes it highly accessible. In addition, students will have access to a library full of multimedia resources in different audiovisual formats (such as interactive summaries and infographics).
