Take the opportunity to learn about the latest advances in Uveitis and Retinal Pathologies pathologies, and improve your patient care"

The retina is a focus of interest in the field of ophthalmology due to the high prevalence of its associated pathologies: they affect 10% of the Spanish population and, according to the World Health Organization, this figure could double by 2020.

The absence of treatment for eye diseases such as retinal detachment can lead to a total loss of eye function. In the case of Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD), it is the leading cause of legal blindness in people over 50 years of age.

On the other hand, uveitis, or inflammation of the uvea, is one of the leading causes of blindness in the world, as a sole cause, or associated with other systemic diseases as a result of the damage caused to the affected ocular structures. In addition, uveitis can be complicated by corneal opacities, cataracts, ocular hypertension or hypotension, scarring of the retina or inflammation of the optic nerve, so early diagnosis is essential in order to establish the most appropriate treatment, both at the onset and for possible recurrences.

If specialists refresh their knowledge of these pathologies appropriately, they will be to reinforce it and provide quality medical care to their patients.

Seize the opportunity and go ahead and get up to date on the latest developments in Uveitis and Retinal Pathologies pathology"

The postgraduate diploma in Uveitis and Retinal Pathologies contains the most complete and up-to-date scientific program on the market. The most important features of the program include:

• Development of clinical cases presented by experts in ocular pathology. The graphic, schematic, and eminently practical contents with which they are created contain clinical information that is indispensable for professional practice
• Diagnostic and therapeutic innovations for treating uveitis and retinal pathologies
• It uses practical exercises where learning can be improved through the self-evaluation process
• Algorithm-based interactive learning system for decision-making in uveitis and retinal pathology patients
• All of 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

This postgraduate diploma may be the best investment you can make in selecting a refresher program for two reasons: in addition to updating your knowledge in uveitis and Retinal pathologies, you will obtain an postgraduate diploma from TECH Technological University"

Its teaching staff includes renowned specialists in the field of ophthalmology, who bring the experience of their work in the country’s leading medical centers to this training.

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 program to train in real situations.

This program is designed around Problem Based Learning, whereby the physician must try to solve the different professional practice situations that arise during the course. For this purpose, the physician will be assisted by an innovative interactive video system developed by renowned experts in the field of ophthalmology, and with extensive teaching experience.
