You will have access to both the most recent scientific postulates and the most prominent clinical practice in Home Hospitalization"

Following the pandemic, Home Hospitalization has positioned itself as one of the key units for shortening stays, guaranteeing continuity of care and avoiding admissions, therefore relieving the hospital's own burden. Healthcare professionals from areas such as nursing, psychology, or physiotherapy usually integrate these work teams, resulting in a heterogeneous group of multidisciplinary specialists.

This distinctive feature raises the level of demand on the area's own specialists, since the complexity involved in following and dealing with a given clinical case is compounded by the possible difficulties of Home Hospitalization, such as infections at home, subsidiary syndromes, or pain management outside the clinical center.

For this reason, TECH has created a complete program that delves into all these issues, giving the specialist the opportunity to update and catch up on the latest developments. An exceptional teaching staff of highly qualified professionals in Home Hospitalization has elaborated all the present content. In this way, the student will deepen in topics such as serotherapy and EV medication, home enteral nutrition, comprehensive assessment in palliative care, and other issues of special urgency.

In addition to all this teaching, which is carried out without the pressure of in-person classes or fixed schedules, there is also a practical stay in a first-class clinical center. In this way, the student will become part of a dynamic team of Home Hospitalization, being able to check on-site all the novelties and work methodology previously reviewed. You will be accompanied at all times by a designated tutor, who will guide you through the entire process so that you can get the most out of your 3 weeks of actual practice.

For all these reasons, this Hybrid Master's Degree in Home Hospitalization is presented as a privileged educational alternative for all specialists in the area, as it allows them to access in a comfortable and flexible way to both the most current theory and the most rigorous clinical practice. 

Access the Virtual Campus 24 hours a day, without the pressure of a fixed schedule or in-person classes"

This Hybrid Master's Degree in Home Hospitalization contains the most complete and up-to-date scientific program on the market. The most important features include:

• Development of more than 100 case studies presented by medical professionals, experts in intensive care and university professors with extensive experience in Home Hospitalization
• Its graphic, schematic, and eminently practical contents provide essential information on those disciplines that are indispensable for professional practice
• Follow-up and monitoring of patients in Home Hospitalization units
• Preparation and organization of the clinical history of a home hospitalization unit
• Detection of the pathologies and casuistry of a home admission, acting accordingly
• Necessary differentiation in Home Hospitalization between oncologic, pediatric, and geriatric patients
• All this will be complemented by 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
• In addition, you will be able to do an internship in one of the best companies

Incorporate into your own daily practice the most advanced work methodology, which you will acquire during 3 intense weeks of stay"

In this proposal for a Master's Degree, of a professionalizing nature and hybrid learning modality, the program is aimed at updating specialists who perform their functions in Home Hospitalization units. The contents are based on the latest scientific evidence, and oriented in an educational way to integrate theoretical knowledge into practice, and the theoretical-practical elements will facilitate knowledge update and decision-making in patient management.

Thanks to their multimedia content developed with the latest educational technology, they will allow the La medical professional to learn in a contextual and situated learning environment, i.e., a simulated environment that will provide immersive learning programmed to train in real situations. The design of this program is focused on Problem-Based Learning, through which the student will have to try to solve the different professional practice situations that will arise throughout the program. For this purpose, the students will be assisted by an innovative interactive video system created by renowned and experienced experts.

You will be able to download all the available content in the virtual campus from any device with an Internet connection"

You will update your knowledge in Home Hospitalization based on the approaches of professionals with years of experience in the area"

The entire syllabus has been prepared following the practical methodology of Relearning, in which TECH is also a pioneer. Thanks to it, the student saves a considerable amount of study hours, since all the keys and most important concepts are provided in a repeated and natural way throughout the program. In addition, all topics are supported by high-quality multimedia content, developed by the teaching team itself to provide a more detailed perspective of the entire theory.

You will have access to numerous in-depth videos, interactive summaries, and more essential content on the practice of Home Hospitalization"
