Introduction to the Program

In a 100% practical and on-site format, this program will bring you up-to-date on the new clinical and surgical trends in Neuro-Ophthalmology, acquiring the highest level of experience under the guidance of leading experts”

Scientific and technological research in Neuro-Ophthalmology has led to the appearance of multiple innovations from the clinical and surgical point of view, as well as the development of specific devices to assist patients with neuro-visual pathologies. A clear example of this is the evolution of diagnostic tools, such as Optical Coherence Tomography, or the development of transpupillary Thermotherapy against tumors such as Retinoblastomas. All these advances, although beneficial for human health, represent a great challenge for the specialist who must remain up-to-date in a context where there are not many programs focused on the subject matter or with a high theoretical load.

As a solution to this challenge, TECH has designed this Internship Program, the only one of its kind, which allows the physician access to a renowned hospital center. From there, you will have the opportunity to develop the most cutting-edge skills in Neuro-Ophthalmology, implementing the most current techniques and handling the most modern tools on the market. They will also have the opportunity to choose the entity that best suits their geographical location to complete this educational process.

The internship, which is 100% on-site, intensive and immersive, will last 3 weeks. Throughout this period, the medical professional will be assisted by an attending tutor, who will accompany them in the development of new skills and expand the knowledge that they will be able to incorporate holistically in their daily practice. In addition, they will interact at all times with other experts, with extensive experience and prestige, based on their advanced experiences in terms of the latest developments in the discipline in question.

This academic itinerary is exclusive to TECH and you will be able to develop it at your own pace thanks to its 100% online Relearning methodology"
