Introduction to the Program

Master the most current equipment that facilitates the daily work of a physician specialized in Emergencies and Catastrophes through this 100% practical educational program”

Statistics designed to measure the quality of the health intervention in the event of an accident or natural catastrophe give equal importance to care and organizational actions. According to specialized figures, the correct management and resolution of the crisis depends on both. In addition, the medical sector is striving to find professionals who are equally qualified for both tasks and who, in particular, can operate the most up-to-date instruments and devices. It is also expected of them that, with the most modern diagnostic and therapeutic tools, they will be able to transcend the traditional health facility and apply all their knowledge in field hospitals and other improvised instances.

Based on these demands, TECH has developed this eminently practical academic program. During 120 educational hours, your students will delve into the most comprehensive transport services for emergencies, as well as strategies for integrating advanced technologies into their stays. They will also examine the most contemporary trends that distinguish the approach to adult patients from those of pediatric age.

This innovative learning modality will be developed for 3 weeks in prestigious hospital centers that dedicate multiple resources to the attention of Emergencies and Catastrophes from the medical point of view. In these instances, each student will have a designated tutor who will oversee the continued development of excellent skills. In addition, this Internship program has been designed taking into account some of the shortcomings of the pedagogical field that sometimes emphasizes theoretical knowledge to the detriment of the skills and management of daily professional practice. Through this comprehensive program, students will hone their skills by working side by side with leading experts in rigorous, demanding and competitive healthcare settings. The experiences obtained through this on-site stay will allow for a substantial broadening of each student's curricular trajectory.

You will have access to a library of multimedia resources 7 days a week, 24 hours a day”
