Up-to-date your knowledge in Clinical Ultrasound and become an updated professional in this area thanks to this complete Hybrid Master's Degree"

The use of clinical ultrasound in primary care continues to be a complete tool at the service of the nurse in the diagnosis of patients with different symptomatology. Therefore, in the last 50 years, ultrasound has experienced an exponential advance. It is no longer necessary to use huge devices for this technique; technological advances allow for new, smaller and more mobile devices, which are therefore much more accessible.

This technological and academic advance in such a generalized specialty requires that professionals keep themselves permanently up-to-date in order to really take full advantage of all the benefits of Clinical Ultrasound. For this reason, and aware of the relevance and current relevance of this specialty, TECHhas designed this complete Hybrid Master's Degree in which the nurse will be able to up-to-date their theoretical knowledge and put what they have learned into action in a reference center in the sector.

In addition, and understanding the growing introduction of ultrasound scanners in Primary Care Centers, which has multiplied in recent years, this program focuses on offering nurses the opportunity to learn how to use these devices, taking full advantage of the benefits they provide.

The theoretical part of the program will be conducted 100% online, using not only the best educational technology, but also the best pedagogical resources and the best teaching methodology. This will be followed by the practical period of the Hybrid Master's Degree in which, with a practical stay in a center of reference in the specialty, the nurse will learn to put into practice everything he or she has learned and, best of all, to take it to their daily practice.

Therefore, this Hybrid Master's Degree is a great opportunity for students to update their knowledge and improve their daily practice without giving up the rest of their professional and personal activities. All of this, with the security that comes from studying with the most awarded teaching methodology in the current academic panorama and with the guarantees of attending a prestigious hospital to learn from the best professionals.
