You will delve into the dosimetric control of health professionals exposed to radiation and the control measures that you can implement as a nurse thanks to TECH"

In a society characterized by the pursuit of environmental sustainability, medical centers have the opportunity to demonstrate their social responsibility to the public. Radiation protection not only aims to protect patients and healthcare personnel, but also to ensure that radiation has as little impact as possible on the natural environment. In this context, the nurses' tasks include the verification of environmental radiation and surface contamination detectors.

Their primary objective is to ensure that there is no pollution of the soil, water or air. It also ensures effective compliance with safety regulations, thus protecting the community.

Aware of the importance of protecting the population, TECH is developing a pioneering postgraduate certificate that will address the existing risks derived from the use of ionizing radiation in Hospital Radioactive

Facilities. This will allow students to identify hazards and implement actions to promote a totally safe space. To this end, this syllabus will delve into the control of the airtightness of encapsulated radioactive sources, taking into account the limits and international certificates currently in force. Likewise, the syllabus will provide guidelines for graduates to identify the best structural shielding based on the calculation of thicknesses and other important parameters.

In addition, the entire university program will be taught 100% online, since the content of this program and its control will be carried out through the most complete Virtual Campus. In this way, students will be able to connect whenever they want, from wherever they want and through any device with an Internet connection, either through a computer, Tablet or cell phone. In this way, they will have the opportunity to keep up to date in a guaranteed way and combined with their work activity in healthcare centers. At the same time, they will be supported for the assimilation of new skills in the innovative Relearning methodology of which TECH is a pioneer.

You will obtain state-of-the-art knowledge that will allow you to recognize as a nurse the most frequent radiological risks in the hospital area"

This postgraduate certificate in Radiation Protection in Hospital Radioactive Facilities contains the most complete and up-to-date scientific program on the market. The most important features include: 

• The development of case studies presented by experts in Radiophysics
• 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
• Practical exercises where the self-assessment process can be carried out to improve learning
• Its special emphasis on innovative methodologies
• Theoretical lessons, questions to the expert, debate forums on controversial topics, and individual reflection assignments
• Content that is accessible from any fixed or portable device with an Internet connection

You will delve into the dosimetric control of patients to contribute to correctly set dose limits during treatments"

The program's teaching staff includes professionals from the sector who bring to this program the experience of their work, in addition to recognized specialists from prestigious reference societies and universities.

The multimedia content, developed with the latest educational technology, will provide the professional with situated and contextual learning, i.e., a simulated environment that will provide immersive education programmed to learn in real situations.

This program is designed around Problem-Based Learning, whereby the professional must try to solve the different professional practice situations that arise during the academic year For this purpose, the students will be assisted by an innovative interactive video system created by renowned and experienced experts.

Do you want to delve deeper into the verification of environmental radiation detectors? Achieve it in only 150 hours thanks to this exclusive qualification"

The Relearning system applied by TECH in its programs reduces the long hours of study so frequent in other teaching methods"

This postgraduate certificate will enable students to identify the radiological risks present in hospital centers. Graduates will design and implement safety plans to ensure the well-being of both patients and physicians. At the same time, they will strictly comply with international standards stipulating radiological protection. In this line, they will master the main specific parameters for the calculation of structural shielding in the services involved in radiation management: Nuclear Medicine, Radiation Oncology and Radiodiagnostics.
