Description

A high intensity postgraduate certificate compatible with your personal and professional life that will provide you with the latest advances and the most specialized knowledge in this complex medical area"

##IMAGE##

In clinical practice, diagnosing, monitoring, and treating autoimmune diseases is not a straightforward task. The simultaneous or overlapping involvement of multiple organs and the presence of often vague or confusing symptoms require professionals to have a series of up-to-date and practical skills and knowledge that allow them to make quick and efficient decisions. In these cases, patient care often involves dealing with long-term situations in which the patient needs special, personal, human, and medical attention, both because of the absence of a diagnosis that provides an answer to their situation and because of the exhaustion associated with long-term pathologies. During the training you will get the trained and experienced vision that this type of disease demands and needs. Reliable and serious: offered by the largest online university in the world. 

The content cover, comprehensively and clearly, all aspects of the most relevant Systemic Autoimmune Diseases. From the study of clinical immunology, as a basis for understanding the processes involved in the development of autoimmune pathology, the different aspects of interest of this medical discipline will be explored. A specific and practical approach that will provide medical professionals with in-depth knowledge of the different autoimmune diseases that have been described so far, learning and integrating diagnostic and classification criteria into daily practice. 

All these educational developments are created with the objective of achieving training efficiency for your students. An approach that focuses on offering professionals the possibility of making their learning compatible with their personal or professional life, in a way that is highly efficient. A postgraduate continuing education program that includes highly specialized content based on the latest medical trends and advances, such as modules in Clinical Immunology, Multidisciplinary Assessment and Associated Pharmacology. 

This objective of continuous training is also maintained after the course has been completed, thanks to the creation of an Online Learning Fund on Patients with Autoimmune Disease. A constantly updated and revised resource to keep you informed of the latest developments in this field.

Postgraduate Certificate in Primary Sjogren's Syndrome

If a patient comes to your office with dry eyes and mouth, it is possible that he/she suffers from Sjögren's syndrome: an autoimmune disease where the body abnormally attacks the lacrimal and salivary glands. It is known that there is no cure, but it can be optimally regulated through various medical parameters, which is why health professionals should deepen and update their knowledge in the management of this autoimmune disorder. To meet this need, at TECH Technological University we have devised the Postgraduate Certificate in Primary Sjögren's Syndrome focused on strengthening notions and adding highly practical skills. Supported by a multidisciplinary and digital environment that incorporates the most experienced in teaching along with the best of distance education, we offer a unique professionalization alternative where you can delve into the different aspects of the disease such as: epidemiology, patient follow-up, polyarteritis nodosa, immune complex vasculitis, glucocorticoids, immunosuppressants, among others. All of this is broken down in self-regulated online classes that use immersive multimedia material and academic dynamics that will motivate your progress.

Study an online postgraduate course on Sjögren's syndrome

Since the Swedish ophthalmologist Henrik Sjögren published his thesis "The knowledge of keratoconjunctivitis" which served as the basis for the knowledge of the syndrome that bears his name, it is known that people with rheumatoid arthritis are more prone to suffer from this type of autoimmune disease. Other studies indicate that patients with connective tissue conditions such as lupus are also vulnerable to it. It has even been discovered (although it is not very frequent) that patients with Sjögren's syndrome may increase the risk of developing lymphoma. Do you want to learn more about the diagnosis and treatment of this disease? With our Postgraduate Certificate you can do it in a comfortable and pleasantly effective way. In only 300 hours, which you can administer according to your daily schedule, you can learn concepts inherent to the disorder: giant cell arteritis and polymyalgia rheumatica, for example, as well as the different drugs applicable to systemic autoimmune diseases. If you are looking to enhance your knowledge and access new job opportunities, TECH is the answer.
