Internship program Diagnosis and Treatment in Pediatric Cardiology and Congenital Heart Disease

Cardiovascular problems in children are increasing as a consequence of unhealthy lifestyle habits and the continuous discovery of different congenital heart diseases. In this context, medical specialists are challenged to keep up to date with the most advanced diagnostic and therapeutic procedures. Although there are several programs that cover these topics, most of them are theoretical and do not offer the professional the practical skills required in this field of health. Faced with this reality, this TECH Internship Program breaks into the educational market by offering an intensive, immersive and 100% face-to-face experience that will ensure the pediatric cardiologist the necessary updating of his or her health care skills. Thus, during 3 weeks, students will have the opportunity to learn with great experts and with the best technologies.

Introduction to the Program

The intensive face-to-face stay provided by TECH with this Internship program will allow you to expand your professional practice with the most modern technological resources and skills in relation to Pediatric Cardiology”

Congenital Heart Disease represents one of the most important health problems for pediatric patients. For this reason, science and technology are continually exploring the development of therapeutic and surgical procedures to improve the quality of life of pediatric patients and, above all, to prevent deaths. Specific care tools for the diagnosis and treatment of children and adolescents have been developed on the basis of various research and clinical trials, which are frequently advanced and updated. These innovations represent a challenge for medical specialists who must master all of them from a theoretical and, at the same time, practical point of view.

For this reason, TECH has developed this tIntership Program, 100% practical and intensive, where the pediatric cardiologist will be able to update himself/herself on the most modern praxis in the management of these diseases. The program consists of 3 weeks of exhaustive and rigorous learning in a hospital institution of reference in the study of Congenital Heart Disease. During this time, you will have access to optimal surgical, hemodynamic and diagnostic technologies that will significantly enhance your skills. In addition, you will be able to choose the healthcare facility that best suits your geographic location or your interests in international advancement.

Likewise, the academic stay offers the possibility of exchanging with great experts in pediatric cardiology. From this educational process, the physician will be able to acquire new experiences, based on excellent research results. Likewise, an assistant tutor will be in charge of supervising their progress, including dynamic and innovative activities throughout the duration of this Internship program.

Practical Training in Diagnosis and Treatment in Pediatric Cardiology and Congenital Heart Disease

Pediatric cardiology and congenital heart disease are medical specialties that focus on the study, diagnosis and treatment of heart disease in children from birth. At TECH Global University we have designed a practical program that provides the necessary tools for a solid and updated training in this area. In this program, participants will learn about the theoretical foundations of pediatric cardiology and congenital heart disease, as well as the most advanced diagnostic procedures, including echocardiography and cardiac catheterization. In addition, the various treatment options, from cardiac surgery to pharmacologic therapy, will be addressed.

The practical part of our course will cover the most advanced diagnostic procedures, including echocardiography and cardiac catheterization.

The practical part of our training program is of vital importance, as participants will have the opportunity to perform clinical internships in specialized pediatric cardiology and congenital heart centers. In this way, they will be able to put into practice the knowledge acquired and gain experience in the management of complex clinical situations. In addition, participants will work in teams with specialists and other health professionals, which will allow them to develop skills in teamwork and effective communication. In short, our hands-on training in diagnosis and treatment in pediatric cardiology and congenital heart disease is the best option for those healthcare professionals seeking comprehensive and up-to-date training in this important area.
