Introduction to the Program
Un programa exhaustivo y 100% online, exclusivo de TECH y con una perspectiva internacional respaldada por nuestra afiliación con Global Alliance for Genomics and Health”
De acuerdo con un nuevo estudio publicado por la Organización Mundial de la Salud, el Venous Thromboembolism afecta a más de 10 millones de personas anualmente. A este respecto, dicha condición representa una de las principales causas de morbilidad y mortalidad prevenible en el ámbito hospitalario y ambulatorio. Frente a esta situación, los médicos requieren incorporar a su práctica clínica diaria las técnicas de profilaxis farmacológica y mecánica más modernas para reducir el riesgo de complicaciones graves como la Embolia.
En este contexto, TECH lanza un exclusivo Postgraduate diploma en Venous Thromboembolism. Concebido por especialistas de renombre, el itinerario académico profundizará en la fisiopatología de esta afección, teniendo presente los factores de riesgo asociados y las complicaciones más frecuentes. Además, el temario abordará estrategias de prevención farmacológica y mecánica, técnicas diagnósticas avanzadas y el uso de escalas de valoración del riesgo individualizado.
Por otro lado, esta opción académica se fundamenta en la disruptiva metodología del Relearning. Este sistema se basa en la reiteración progresiva y natural de los conceptos esenciales de los materiales didácticos, impulsando una actualización de conocimientos eficiente. A su vez, los médicos tan solo necesitarán un dispositivo electrónico con conexión a internet para adentrarse en el Campus Virtual. En este entorno hallarán una variedad de recursos multimedia de apoyo como vídeos en detalle, ejercicios prácticos o lecturas especializadas. Adicionalmente, un reconocido Director Invitado Internacional brindará unas intensivas Masterclasses.
