Get up to date with the most complete degree in the educational market, which includes the most significant practical and theoretical innovations for the Acne Treatment”

Acne has serious psychological implications for patients who suffer from it. As a result, medical sciences are continuously engaged in the search for better treatments against this dermatological condition. Therefore, in recent years, new procedures such as chemical peels, surgical drains and extractions or steroid infiltrations have emerged. At the same time, phototherapy techniques, with lasers and other light modalities, have proved to be one of the most outstanding innovations in this health field. Despite this, most specialists are not adequately trained to implement these innovations in their daily practice. Nor to apply the most powerful strategies against the appearance of scars and cysts on the part of patients.

In this context, TECH has designed a degree of excellence that will bring physicians up to date with the utmost rigor and thoroughness. This Hybrid professional master’s degree consists of two well-defined parts. The first one will be developed 100% online, on an interactive platform, where the graduate will have access to multiple theoretical contents. In order to assimilate this knowledge, they will also have at their disposal multimedia resources such as videos and infographics. Likewise, with the help of Relearning, they will consolidate their mastery of the syllabus in a fast and flexible way.

The second half of the program is followed by a rigorous clinical internship. The educational modality includes 3 weeks of intensive on-site training in a prestigious hospital center. From there, the physician will handle the most advanced technology and will apply the most recent procedures on real patients with Acne of varying intensity. Throughout the educational process, they will be accompanied by prestigious experts with whom they will discuss the most appropriate methods of intervention for each patient. Likewise, an associate tutor, designated by TECH, will be in charge of supervising your progress and inserting dynamic tasks in the educational exercise.
