Update your knowledge and practical skills in the treatment of acne with this intensive and immersive on-site academic modality"

In their eagerness to offer patients the best therapeutic strategies, medical sciences are constantly innovating. Regarding the search for better strategies for the treatment of acne, this research development has generated new procedures and tools for clinical work. Proof of this is the most recent phototherapy techniques and devices. From it, laser equipment, infrared light and even LEDs have been implemented that make it possible to approach the pustules and cysts resulting from the dermatological condition. They have also provided a better control of its healing. Other advances are related to pharmacological treatments and topical medications whose positive results are already benefiting many patients.  

At the same time, specialists in this health discipline do not always have an optimal mastery of all these advances. The reason for this problem is that, in general, the educational programs that deal with the subject have a high theoretical load and do not meet the needs of physicians who mostly want to  learn about the applications and management of the new therapeutic strategies available to them.

In this context, TECH has developed a demanding and exhaustive academic modality that provides the physician with practical, on-site and intensive learning of these competencies. This Internship program in Acne Treatment consists of a study stay in a renowned hospital center, equipped with the best healthcare resources. This on-site internship will last 3 weeks, in 8-hour shifts, from Monday to Friday.  

In the institutions chosen for this program, health professionals will find a staff of great experts. Along with them, they will discuss and analyze how to approach different manifestations of Acne, according to the latest scientific evidence. Furthermore, an associate tutor will supervise all academic progress closely and will help graduates to integrate themselves into the work dynamics. Upon completion of this program, the specialist will have assimilated all the advances related to this medical discipline and will be able to implement them with excellence in their daily work practice.
