They choose where, when and how to take on the entire teaching load, with unique flexibility and accessibility to all the didactic content"

The different studies that have emerged in recent years regarding the dilation phase of labor show that both the medicalization of labor and obstetric interventionism increase the rate of iatrogenesis, supporting a practical approach of low intervention. This entails an update in admission criteria, as well as in the action to be taken in the face of different pathologies that may occur during the whole process.

Particularly noteworthy are the advances made in the second and third phases of labor, with a series of fundamental intervention maneuvers that midwives must master to guarantee a positive obstetric and neonatal outcome. Early detection of different pathologies plays an important role in this work, which allows a much earlier approach to them.

Therefore, since there is a clear need to regularly update knowledge in this area, TECH has developed this academic program. Written by a group of experts in Obstetric Emergencies, the topics that make up this program cover the main novelties in childbirth and postpartum complications that midwives should incorporate into their daily practice.

In addition, being aware of the difficulty of combining this program with a demanding professional activity, both face-to-face classes and fixed schedules have been eliminated. This means that the program is completely online, since it is the midwives who have full access to all the didactic contents from the first day, being able to distribute them according to their own interests.
