Internship program Oculoplasty, Orbit, and Tear Ducts

Oculoplasty, Orbit, and Tear Ducts are essential subspecialties in Ophthalmology, focusing on the diagnosis and treatment of Periocular and Orbital Pathologies. These areas range from Eyelid Malpositions or Tear Duct Disorders to Tumor Lesions. In this regard, technological and surgical advancements have significantly improved both functional and aesthetic outcomes. For this reason, physicians need to frequently update their knowledge to manage the most innovative techniques for effectively addressing complex cases and providing individualized treatments that optimize ocular health. With the aim of supporting this update, TECH University has created this program, where graduates will join a team experienced in Oculoplasty, Orbit, and Tear Ducts for 3 weeks.

Introduction to the Program

Through this Internship program, you will master the most innovative techniques for treating conditions affecting the Orbit and Tear Ducts”

A recent study published by the World Health Organization estimates that over 190 million people worldwide suffer from disorders related to Eyelid Malpositions, Ptosis, or Tear Duct Alterations. In response to this, oculoplastic surgery has significantly evolved to treat these conditions, combining functional precision with aesthetic criteria. In this context, professionals need to incorporate the most advanced surgical techniques and up-to-date diagnostic approaches into their daily clinical practice. Only in this way can they guarantee quality care that balances functional restoration with aesthetic improvement.

To address this need, TECH presents an innovative program that includes a 120-hour practical stay at a leading clinical center specializing in Oculoplasty, Orbit, and Tear Ducts. Over the course of 3 weeks, participants will become part of a team of top-level specialists, actively working on diagnostic evaluations, surgical planning, and the execution of procedures related to Eyelid Malpositions. Thanks to this immersive experience, medical professionals will enhance their clinical and surgical skills in a real healthcare environment, strengthening their ability to tackle complex cases with greater precision and safety. They will also acquire advanced competencies in the comprehensive management of Periocular Pathologies, from initial assessment to postoperative follow-up.

Additionally, throughout this academic journey, participants will be guided by an expert adjunct tutor, who will accompany them during every stage of the clinical and surgical process. This personalized guidance will enable them to address questions in real-time, receive continuous feedback, and refine their medical decision-making skills.
