Update your knowledge by accessing the latest evidence on Diabetes Mellitus, polydipsia-polyuria and adrenal insufficiency” 

New dietary trends such as vegetarian or vegan diets can lead to nutritional deficiencies in children and adolescents if they are not strictly monitored and controlled. At the same time, the monitoring of diabetes and its diagnostic criteria continues to be one of the main fields of research in endocrinology, and in recent years there have been many advances in this regard.

Being aware of this changing reality, TECH has created this Postgraduate certificate which includes a compendium of theses, research and scientific findings that gather all the essential information specialists need in one place. That is, topics devoted entirely to the diet of healthy children, enteral and parenteral nutrition, new approaches to the patient with suspected inborn error of metabolism and other issues of vital interest.

All this in a complete 100% online course, which does not require physical attendance or adherence to pre-fixed schedules. The entire syllabus is made available to specialists from day one, and can be downloaded from any device with an internet connection. This makes this program an ideal academic opportunity to get up to date in endocrine pathologies and pediatric nutrition without having to sacrifice personal or professional commitments. 

You will be able to study whenever, wherever and however it suits you, since you will have access to the syllabus 24 hours a day”  

This Postgraduate certificate in Endocrine Pathology and Nutrition in Hospital Pediatrics is the most complete and up-to-date scientific program on the market. Its most notable features are:

• Practical case studies presented by experts in hospital pediatrics
• The graphic, schematic, and eminently practical contents with which they are created, 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
• Special emphasis on innovative methodologies in the approach to pneumological affections

Thanks to an effective methodology, you will not have to invest long hours into studying this program to successfully complete it. You will get up to date in a conclusive and efficient way” 

The program’s teaching staff includes professionals from the sector who contribute their work experience to this 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 an immersive program designed 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 student will be assisted by an innovative interactive video system created by renowned and experienced experts.  

Incorporate into your daily practice the most innovative treatments and monitoring techniques in Diabetes Mellitus type 1, 2 and MODY"

Expand and update your knowledge of inborn error of metabolism, with extensive studies on diagnostic procedures and treatments for it"

The professors have carefully structured the course content in such a way that students can easily study it and consult the topics as much as they need to. Therefore, you will find up to nine topics with their respective subsections that will cover everything from nutritional status assessments in pediatric patients, diets of healthy children and enteral nutrition for polydipsia-polyuria, hypoglycemia or Diabetes Mellitus. 

You will have the support of video classes recorded by the professors themselves, as well as interactive summaries and work guides that will greatly speed up your study work”
