A 100% online university program that will incorporate into your work practice new techniques and the comprehensive management of devices with which you will innovate in the radiological sector"

In the context of brachytherapy, the TG-43 formalism is an indispensable element for calculating the radioactive sources used in clinical practice. Expressed in mathematical formulas incorporating dosimetric parameters, this mechanism provides the necessary calculations to delimit the dose distribution in the patient's tissue. In this way, it helps physicians design treatments that deliver precise therapeutic doses to the target area. In addition, it serves to ensure compliance with standards and regulations in the area of radiotherapy to maintain high quality standards in procedures.

In this context, TECH will provide physicians seeking to update their knowledge with a pioneering program.  Through its program, specialists will delve into this procedure and the techniques that will ensure the use of the appropriate dose to treat different types of cancer and protect surrounding healthy tissues. Backed by an experienced teaching team, the expert will also delve into optimal management techniques.  In addition, the program will offer clinical considerations and outcomes in conditions such as breast and cervical cancer.  They will also address ethical issues in shared decision making with patients. In this way, graduates will make informed clinical decisions in different oncological scenarios.

It should be noted that students will only require a device with Internet access to access the didactic material. In this sense, the schedules and evaluation chronograms can be planned individually. It should be noted that the syllabus will be based on the innovative Relearning teaching system that relies on repetition to guarantee the mastery of its different aspects. At the same time, it mixes the learning process with real situations so that knowledge is acquired in a natural and progressive way, without the extra effort of memorizing. Also, the program uses resources in various formats such as explanatory videos, interactive summaries and infographics.
