Thanks to this Postgraduate diploma you will be up to date in the diagnostic advances of the musculoskeletal pathology of the scapular girdle"

The scapular girdle is a complex anatomical area of great importance for arm movement. However, despite the wide variety of lesions and pathologies that can affect this region, some of these can be difficult to detect. This factor can increase the risk of an injury in this area going undiagnosed or misdiagnosed, which can lead to inadequate medical care and complications in the management of the injury. This is why it is important for physicians to keep up to date with the latest techniques for image interpretation and pathology evaluation, as well as the most advanced techniques for treating injuries affecting this area of the body.

In this context, TECH has developed a Postgraduate diploma, which will allow the specialist to keep up to date with the diagnosis of musculoskeletal conditions of the scapular girdle. During 6 months of intensive updating, the graduate will deepen in Surgery and Osteology of the Shoulder and Glenohumeral Joint. He will also delve into diagnostic imaging, Nuclear Medicine in shoulder pathologies and evaluation scales and quality of life.

Since the program is 100% online, the professional will have the excellent opportunity to combine his or her daily responsibilities with those of updating his or her knowledge. Also, thanks to the Relearning method, you will explore in detail the fundamental aspects of the curriculum, strengthening the updated concepts.
