You will increase your skills for the handling of the main intraoperative imaging systems and control tumor resection during oncological surgeries thanks to TECH"

Flash technology has become the latest trend in Intraoperative Radiation Therapy. It is a technique that uses ultra-fast beams of radiation to treat tumors. Among its benefits, it significantly reduces side effects and toxicity in the tissues surrounding the tumor. In addition, its procedures reduce the influence of involuntary patient movements during irradiation, which significantly improves the precision of treatment. It should be noted, however, that although the preliminary results of this tool are promising, it is still in the research and development stage.

In view of this situation, TECH has implemented a postgraduate certificate that will help doctors to acquire advanced knowledge on this subject and to promote new scientific research for the consolidation of this useful system. Developed by a prestigious teaching team, this curriculum will deal with
the use of new emerging therapies in Intraoperative Radiotherapy. For this purpose, the syllabus will provide specialists with the guidelines to handle modern technologies such as computed tomography. Likewise, the program will delve into the different clinical indications according to the types of cancer treated. In addition, it will enhance effective communication with patients and their families in complex situations.

On the other hand, the program is based on the revolutionary Relearning method. This learning system consists of the gradual and organized repetition of the most relevant contents, so that they remain engraved in the memory of the students in a progressive and natural way. The program will also offer various clinical case studies, which will allow students to get closer to the reality of medical care. Along the same lines, students will have access at all times to a digital library full of audiovisual materials (explanatory videos, interactive summaries or infographics) and additional didactic materials such as complementary readings. In this way, students will consolidate their knowledge in a more dynamic way.
