Description

Update your knowledge in orthopedic surgery and traumatology through this program, where you will find the best didactic material, with real clinical cases and high resolution images. Learn here about the latest advances in shoulder and elbow pathology to be able to perform a quality surgical praxis"

Orthopedic surgery and traumatology have undergone a spectacular development in recent years. Advances in molecular biology, biomaterials of cell cultures, imaging diagnostic and minimally invasive techniques have come together to offer new possibilities in the management of patients. 

The volume of information increases exponentially every year and it is impossible to be up to date in all areas of the specialty unless you have a team of experts to do this work for you: an intelligent discrimination of information. In addition, the current tendency to subspecialize in one anatomical region or surgical technique makes it more difficult to keep up to date in those areas that are not routinely treated. 

This postgraduate certificate offers a detailed review of the most relevant advances in orthopedic surgery and traumatology of the shoulder and elbow from an eminently practical point of view, to update the specialist through the latest educational technology.

Scientific evidence increases the quality of surgical practice. Staying current is key to providing better care for patients with shoulder and elbow pathology"

The postgraduate certificate in Shoulder and Elbow Orthopedic Surgery and Traumatology contains the most complete and updated scientific program on the market. The most important features of the postgraduate certificate are:

  • Contains Clinical cases presented by experts. The graphic, schematic, and eminently practical contents with which they are created provide scientific and practical information on the disciplines that are essential for professional practice
  • New diagnostic and therapeutic developments in the care of patients with shoulder and elbow pathology
  • Presentation of practical workshops on surgical procedures, diagnostic and therapeutic techniques for the main pathologies of the joints of the upper limb
  • Video lessons on different pathologies and how to approach them
  • Algorithm-based interactive learning system for decision-making in the presented clinical situations
  • 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 may be the best investment you can make in the selection of an updated program for two reasons: in addition to updating your knowledge in Shoulder and Elbow Orthopedic Surgery and Traumatology, you will obtain certificate issued from TECH Technological University"

Its teaching staff includes leading specialists in orthopedic surgery, who bring to this training the experience of their work, in addition to other specialists belonging to prestigious scientific societies.

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

This program is designed around Problem Based Learning, whereby the Doctor must try to solve the different professional practice situations that arise during the course university. This will be done with the help of an innovative interactive video system developed by renowned experts in orthopedic surgery, with extensive teaching experience.

Postgraduate Certificate in Orthopedic Surgery and Shoulder and Elbow Traumatology

Thanks to orthopedic and traumatologic procedures, patients are able to receive a more individualized attention towards pathologies related to the spine or the function of their extremities. The scientific and technological advances present in these techniques have caused health professionals to renew their knowledge, with the purpose of providing the most innovative tools in the care of their patients. For this reason, the specialists of the School of Medicine of TECH designed this Postgraduate Certificate in Orthopedic Surgery and Traumatology of the Shoulder and Elbow, focused on addressing the most relevant advances in the area, from an eminently practical point of view. To reinforce your learning progressively, you will have the continuous support of our most experienced teachers, who will train you efficiently, using the latest educational models. The study plan will allow you to understand the ethical aspects of each COT procedure (orthopedic surgery and traumatology), as well as the approach to antibiotic prophylaxis and the thromboprophylaxis guideline. With the knowledge gained throughout the 10 weeks of the program, you will be an expert in improving the prognosis of your patients with osteoarticular related problems.

Specialize in performing orthopedic surgery to the shoulder and elbow.

If you wish to work as an orthopedic surgeon and learn about the surgical advances to treat pathologies related to these extremities, this is the ideal program for you. The Postgraduate Certificate contains a globalized vision of the anatomical region and surgical techniques that are not usually addressed. With our methodology taught by renowned professionals, you will perform practical clinical cases, which will allow you to reinforce your skills to perform with solvency in this area. In the syllabus you will find novel aspects ranging from the application of BMP (bone morphogenetic proteins) in specific cases, the biopsychosocial model in musculoskeletal pathology and recent concepts on neurophysiology in orthopedic surgery; to the different applications of cell cultures as a medicinal alternative in orthopedics and traumatology. Additionally, you will approach interventional radiology in muscular and skeletal pathology to decide the type of treatment in osteoarticular fractures (recurrent dislocation and tenodesis in the shoulder, elbow arthroscopy, diaphyseal fractures of the distal end of the humerus). As a result of this, you will be able to arrange the best therapeutic options, depending on the applicable condition.
