New advances in gynecologic oncology drive us to develop new programs that meet the real needs of experienced professionals, so that they can incorporate new advances into their daily practice”

Ovarian cancer is the fourth most frequent cancer of gynecological origin; however, it is the most lethal. As most of these tumors are detected in advanced stages of the disease, the survival rate is only about 30% of cases. Therefore, knowledge of the pathophysiology of the disease and early diagnosis is crucial.

It is essential for specialist physicians to be up to date with the main issues relating to the Epidemiology and Diagnosis of Ovarian Cancer, since the wide-ranging advances that are constantly being made and published must be transferred to daily medical practice.

This program is aimed at providing the professional with an update on the epidemiology, causes and the entire diagnostic process for ovarian tumor pathology.

You will be able to learn about the latest advances in the Ovarian Cancer Epidemiology and Diagnosis using the latest educational technology”

Thispostgraduate certificate in Ovarian Cancer Epidemiology and Diagnosis contains the most complete and up-to-date scientific program on the market. Its most notable features are:

• The examination of clinical cases, presented by specialists in gynecologic oncology and other disciplines: The graphic, schematic, and practical contents with which they are created, provide provide scientific and healthcare training on those medical disciplines that are essential to professional practice
• An update on the epidemiology of of ovarian cancer
• Diagnostic techniques and procedures for ovarian cancer
• An algorithm-based interactive learning system for decision-making in the clinical situations presented throughout the course.
• All of this will be complemented by 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

This postgraduate certificate is the best investment you can make when selecting a refresher program, for two reasons: in addition to updating your knowledge on the Ovarian Cancer Epidemiology and Diagnosis, you will obtain a postgraduate certificate issued from TECH Technological University"

The teaching staff includes a team of leading gynecologists who bring their professional experience to this program, in addition to renowned specialists in other medical areas.

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

This program is designed around Problem-Based Learning, whereby the specialist must try to solve the different professional practice situations that arise throughout the program. To do this, you will be assisted by an innovative, interactive video system created by renowned and experienced experts in the field of gynecologic oncology with extensive teaching experience.

Incorporate the latest developments in the Ovarian Cancer Epidemiology and Diagnosis into your medical practice and improve the prognosis of your patients"

It includes clinical cases and real images in high definition to bring clinical practice as close as possible to the development of the program"

The main objective is to cover advances in the approach to ovarian cancer, ensuring that the specialist can update their knowledge in a practical way, with the latest educational technology and adapting the educational process to their real needs.

This refresher program will provide you with the skills required for confident decision-making during the diagnostic process, and will help you to grow professionally"
