At the diagnostic level, the increasingly frequent availability of new techniques allows a more rapid etiological diagnosis or by complementary techniques that require clinical diagnostic orientation such as ultrasound, computed tomography or magnetic resonance imaging. Without forgetting the support that the clinician has in laboratory tests that determine acute phase reactants such as procalcitonin or C-reactive protein, which are sometimes given excessive importance, forgetting that we treat patients and not laboratory results.

All this means that, in order to attend these patients with the maximum guarantee, the clinicians must maintain a continuous preparation, even if they are not specialists, since, as we have mentioned, the percentage of visits or interconsultations related to the infection is very high. If we add to this the increasing amount of information provided by parents, sometimes not always contrasted, professional updating becomes essential to be able to provide adequate information according to the current scientific evidence at all times.

Parents who refuse vaccines, children from war-torn or low-income countries, infections in transplant patients, children with devices, fevers without a focus in children well vaccinated with existing vaccines, use of immunomodulatory therapies are increasingly common situations that we must deal with and provide a rapid response to.

Professional Master's Degree in Pediatric Infectology

The transmission of infectious diseases in children can occur from gestational age to early childhood, where it is important to identify the severity of these and the existing variants at the time of finding an appropriate treatment, in order to minimize the risks to the patient. Direct observation and the use of laboratory tools allow us to have an accurate orientation of the types of microorganisms present in the health complications of each child. That is why in TECH Global University we designed a Professional Master's Degree in Pediatric Infectious Diseases for graduates to understand the basics and elements in this area of medicine, and thus improve the quality of life of many; delving into the most common infections and avoiding long-term damage. This academic plan is designed to be carried out through the e-learning methodology, which is a learning model that contains all its subject matter asynchronously and offline possibility thus generating flexibility in the schedule and place of study.

Study an Online Professional Master's Degree in Infectious Diseases in children

This program is developed over a year and consists of more than ten modules, which delves into the current outlook in infectious diseases, the laboratory in the diagnosis of these pathologies, infection in the neonatal period, in ocular areas, skin, soft tissue, and skeletal system, respiratory, gastrointestinal, urinary, HIV in pediatrics and preventive measures, among other topics. All of the above was designed with the objective of providing updated knowledge that will allow to practice and intervene in the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of clinical cases. Equally important, there will be outstanding teachers in the field of pediatric health, both in research and pedagogy, and various simulated health situations designed for real patients will be shown, where an investigation must be carried out, generating one or multiple hypotheses and ultimately providing a solution to the medical condition that affects children from 0 to 5 years of age.
