Description

This professional master’s degree is aimed at specialists who want to update their knowledge and learn the latest techniques in Minimally Invasive Surgery in Pediatrics” 

##IMAGE##

Comprehensive training in minimally invasive techniques (laparoscopy and endoscopy) is not acquired in the undergraduate or postgraduate teaching programs of the different surgical specialties.

In addition to needing to provide in-depth knowledge of these techniques, this type of program must also include a specific theoretical and practical teaching methodolody. The fact that these techniques are offered in hospitals is a seal of quality in health care. Nowadays, patients’ parents who are familiar with the latest technologies demand specialized professionals who can treat their children with minimally invasive techniques such as endoscopy and laparoscopy. These techniques can help physicians to diagnose and treat many of the surgical pathologies of pediatric patients.

Therefore, it is logical to promote the training of professionals in this discipline, as their education is not regulated and so they have to rely on postgraduate training that is taught by different professionals who are experts in this field.

In this professional master’s degree, the majority of endoscopic and laparoscopic techniques used today on pediatric patients will be studied in depth. The program will cover airway, digestive and urinary tract endoscopy, as well as laparoscopic techniques used in general and thoracic surgery and gynecology and urology. Focusing primarily on minimally invasive techniques, we will review the part of pediatric surgery that can be diagnosed or treated through using these techniques.

In order to ensure this, the best experts in the field will contribute their personal experience and present the latest trends in each of their areas of expertise.

Professional Master's Degree in Minimally Invasive Surgery in Pediatrics

If there is something that should characterize the expertise of a physician, it is the methodical approach, both to diagnose and to finally cure the patient. Performing surgery on a person is the ultimate demonstration of this attribute and if this applies to an adult individual, it is even more so for a child patient, especially with regard to minimally invasive techniques, which are the most requested by parents and general practitioners. The Professional Master's Degree in Minimally Invasive Surgery in Pediatrics developed by TECH responds not only to this approach, but to an even greater need, the absence of academic programs that specialize medical personnel in these practices. The knowledge to perform an endoscopy or laparoscopy, are acquired exclusively internally in clinics, doctors with more experience in such techniques instruct their assistants in them, so a very small number of people can perform in these exclusive areas. Here in our online university we give you the opportunity to train in these fundamental surgical methods, through flexible schedules, with access to a vast amount of informative multimedia content.

Specialize in minimally invasive surgeries

Of all the sectors of the population, one that demands priority attention is children's surgery. Increasingly, healthcare professionals are seeking to rely on new technologies to treat children in ways that will lead to greater results while minimizing pain or unwanted sequelae to a minimum. This is the origin of the minimally invasive surgeries that our Professional Master's Degree explores in depth. Laparoscopy, for example, causes less postoperative pain and makes recovery faster, also has smaller incision size compared to traditional open surgery, leaving a better aesthetic appearance to the scar. The program provided by TECH will allow you not only to learn how to handle general and digestive laparoscopy, but also its other modalities such as oncologic and urologic. We will also teach you other procedures such as robotic or abdominal surgery through a single port, and neonatal or fetal surgery, so indispensable in pediatrics. Do not stay in the basics, give a new category to your career and help the little ones. At TECH we turn you into a renowned professional.
