Develops new skills in the field of Genetics, Precision Medicine and Lung Cancer to achieve a more accurate treatment of lung cancer patients"

In many cases, cancer is usually treated in the same way. However, this is not feasible for many patients, as different genetic factors are involved, which can lead to different reactions. With the help of Precision Medicine and Genetics, certain characteristics of each tumor have been established, as well as the resistance that some people develop to treatments.

In an overview, this field of medicine is completely transforming the way different types of cancer are evaluated, helping physicians to characterize genetic alterations as the basis for better understanding disease triggers, having a more successful outcome with fewer side effects.

Based on the above, the Postgraduate certificate in Genetics, Precision Medicine and Lung Cancer further expands the students' knowledge of the genetic basis of this disease, the driver mutations of which there are records and the therapeutic implications that have revolutionized this sector of medicine, since it focuses on the individuality of the patient and is not a collective.

By the end of the Postgraduate certificate, the student will develop the necessary skills to know the different treatments according to a particular population and the contribution that these have had in the development of other methods to eliminate the disease. All this, with the support of a highly qualified teaching staff in this field of medicine and with a program that provides the facility to study 100% online, having at hand a device with internet connection. 

Develop new skills by learning about the different treatments focused on the individuality of lung cancer patients and not on the disease"

The educational program in this Postgraduate certificate in Genetics, Precision Medicine and Lung Cancer has been updated and approved by a group of experts, being one of the most complete in the market. In this way, it stands out for the following characteristics:

• The development of case studies presented by experts in Genetics, Precision Medicine and Lung Cancer
• The graphic, schematic, and practical contents with which they are created, provide scientific and practical information on the disciplines that are essential for professional practice
• Practical exercises where to perform the self-assessment process to improve the learning process
• Its special emphasis on innovative methodologies
• 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

Patients may react in different ways to traditional treatments and drugs, which is why Precision Medicine is important to ensure their full recovery"

The program’s teaching staff includes professionals from the sector who contribute their work experience to this training program, as well as renowned specialists from leading societies and prestigious universities.

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 programmed to train in real situations.

This program is designed around Problem-Based Learning, whereby the professional must try to solve the different professional practice situations that arise during the. For this purpose, the professional will be assisted by an innovative interactive video system created by renowned and experienced experts.
