Throughout this Internship program, you will get up to date in relation to genetic analysis of patients with special nutritional requirements in order to make more accurate medical decisions" 

Science and technology have evolved considerably in recent years, and with them, new applications related to the field of Genomic and Precision Nutrition. This discipline has made great strides in the analysis of specific genetic polymorphisms that can be affected by unhealthy eating habits and lifestyles.  For this reason, and with the premise of having a preventive impact in this health field, experts are increasingly designing personalized dietary plans according to the genetic characterization of each patient. At the same time, maintaining a constant update on these aspects can be challenging for specialists who continually seek programs that are more practical than theoretical.

Based on these requirements, TECH has designed this Internship program, which consists of an intensive and immersive stay in a hospital facility of international prestige.  The clinical practice will be spread over 3 weeks, in 8-hour days, from Monday to Friday. During this period, the specialist will  have access to the most modern resources and assistance strategies in the field of Genomic and Precision Nutrition. In this way, they will update their skills on how to manage them with greater rigor and involve them more effectively in their daily care work.

Likewise, all practical training will be supervised by an assistant tutor. This educational figure will be in charge of assessing the professional's progress and inserting new dynamics in the form of tasks of varying complexity. Also, they will be able to work with prestigious experts, members of the internship center's staff, who will share their most important advanced experiences. Thus, you will achieve excellence in a rapidly expanding healthcare field and apply its advantages to your daily practice. in an exceptional way.

Enjoy an intensive 3-week internship at a prestigious center and update yourself on the latest clinical procedures in order to grow professionally"

The objective is to bring specialists up to date with the highest academic rigor and the most recent scientific evidence. At the same time, it guarantees the assimilation 
of the main innovations in the field of Nutritional Genomics and Precision Nutrition in a 100% direct, face-to-face, intensive and immersive way.  This way, the graduate will acquire the most complete skills to exercise a more exhaustive and adequate professional praxis to the new times.
