Get up to date on the latest trends in the field of Neurosurgery alongside internationally renowned teaching experts and complete a comprehensive, intensive and immersive hands-on stay"

For several years now, medical science has been experimenting with the development of much more efficient surgical techniques for the removal of brain tumors. As a result of this line of research, much more comprehensive technologies and procedures have emerged that provide solutions to this and other neuropathies. However, it is not easy for specialists to keep constantly updated on the theoretical and practical aspects of these innovations. In order to offer a quality academic preparation, different from other programs in the market, TECH has developed a unique didactic modality that meets the indispensable requirements to update the neurosurgeon on the complexities of recent discoveries within his specialty.

Thus arises this Hybrid professional master’s degree in Neurosurgery which, unlike most of the other Certificates, is composed of two distinct educational stages. First, the physician will study different concepts and topics of interest, from a 100% online and interactive learning platform. Throughout 1,500 hours, you will be able to access all the contents freely, without worrying about continuous evaluations or pre-established schedules. You will also be able to use modern teaching methodologies, such as Relearning, to strengthen your mastery of all aspects of this Certificate.

The specialist must then complete a 3-week practical internship in a prestigious medical facility. The entities selected by TECH for this face-to-face, comprehensive and immersive phase have the most advanced technology in Neurosurgery and the resources for other related procedures. In this clinical practice, the neurosurgeon will exchange with experts of international prestige. In turn, it will be supervised by an assistant tutor, in charge of perfecting its praxis for the integration of new surgical trends. Upon completion of both phases of studies, graduates will achieve notoriety for their broad knowledge of the most recent considerations in this branch of medicine and a professional practice of excellence, focused on the quality of life of patients.

Thanks to this Certificate, you will gain the most rigorous practical skills in a specialized clinical practice in Neurosurgery lasting only 3 weeks"

This Hybrid professional master’s degree in Neurosurgery contains the most complete and up-to-date scientific program on the market. The most important features include:

• The graphic, schematic, and practical contents with which they are created, provide scientific and practical information on the disciplines that are essential for professional practice
