An academic option with a theoretical and practical approach that will lead you to master the interaction of radiation with organic tissues from a medical point of view”

In the context of Radiotherapy, it is essential for physicians to control the most advanced technological variables in order to design treatments effectively. To this end, these specialists must constantly update their knowledge in order to apply new protocols with which to direct radiation more precisely to the cancerous cells.  In this way, they will be able to minimize damage to normal tissues and avoid adverse reactions in common pathologies such as breast or prostate carcinoma.  However, the constant evolution of medicine, together with changes in clinical practice guidelines, make it difficult for health professionals to keep abreast of all the latest developments in Radiobiology.  

For this reason, TECH has implemented this postgraduate certificate complete and updated academic market for the specialist to deepen and broaden their skills about the interaction of ionizing radiation with biological tissues. In line with this, the syllabus will address in detail the most effective methods for the repair of the damage in the molecules of the DNA. In addition, the teaching materials will analyze biological efficacy in terms of factors that alter radiosensitivity, such as the case of oxygenation status. On the other hand, it will highlight the relevance of Nuclear Medicine to diagnose and treat pathologies through the injection of radiopharmaceuticals by means of a gamma camera.  

In addition, this academic itinerary will have a 100% online methodology, so that the physician can develop it with total comfort. In this way, the only thing they will need is a device with Internet access to expand their knowledge and acquire new skills that will enrich their professional practice. In this sense, the program will guarantee the most avant-garde methodology: Relearning. This teaching system, based on the reiteration of the most important contents in a gradual way, will provide an update at a natural, flexible and efficient pace.  

You will cover the main mathematical models of survival to understand how cells respond to ionizing factors that can affect their proliferation”

This postgraduate certificate in Radiophysics in Radiobiology contains the most complete and up-to-date scientific program on the market. The most important features include:

• The development of case studies presented by experts in Radiophysics
• Graphic, schematic, and practical contents which provide scientific and practical information on the disciplines that are essential for professional practice
• Practical exercises where self-assessment can be used to improve learning
• Its special emphasis on innovative methodologies  
• Theoretical lessons, questions to the expert, debate forums on controversial topics, and individual reflection assignments 
• Content that is accessible from any fixed or portable device with an Internet connection 

Get up to speed on the dose limits set by the International Commission on Radiological Protection with this 150-hour university program”

The program’s teaching staff includes professionals from the field who contribute their work experience to this educational program, as well as renowned specialists from leading societies and prestigious universities.  

The multimedia content, developed with the latest educational technology, will provide the professional with situated and contextual learning, i.e., a simulated environment that will provide immersive education programmed to learn in real situations.  

This program is designed around Problem-Based Learning, whereby the professional must try to solve the different professional practice situations that arise during the academic year For this purpose, the students will be assisted by an innovative interactive video system created by renowned and experienced experts. 

A disruptive program that will provide you with the most cutting-edge skills in the management of Radiobiology techniques"

With the Relearning system you will of TECH integrate the concepts in a natural and progressive way. Forget about long hours of memorization!"

Throughout the 6 weeks of this program, physicians will acquire broad skills related to the interactions of ionizing radiation with tissues. In this way, they will be able to assess the risks associated with the main medical exposures and establish the cellular response to these effects. In addition, when applying the different treatments, they will take into account existing mathematical models to simulate how radiation will be distributed in the organs during radiotherapy processes.  

TECH's priority is to offer you academic excellence and a unique learning experience, which will elevate your professional horizons to a higher level”
