Scientific evidence increases the quality of trauma surgery. Keeping up-to-date is key to providing better care to our patients"

Orthopedic surgery and traumatology is constantly evolving. The volume of information increases exponentially every year and it is impossible to be updated in all areas of the specialty, unless you have a team of experts in different sub-areas that performs this work for the specialist, making an intelligent discrimination of information.

In addition, the current tendency to sub-specialize in a specific anatomical area or surgical technique makes it more difficult to keep up to date in those areas that are less commonly treated and, at times, makes it difficult and costly to keep up to date with the latest developments. It should also be noted that the increase in the average life expectancy is leading to a higher number of degenerative and disabling osteoarticular injuries. 

This postgraduate diploma allows the specialist to be updated in the latest procedures in spine surgery and in the approach to tumors and infections of the locomotor system to improve the quality of surgical practice with their patients.

Update your knowledge with the postgraduate diplomain Orthopedic Surgery and Traumatology of the Spine and Tumors and Infections of the Locomotor System" 

The postgraduate diploma in Orthopedic Surgery and Traumatology of the Spine and Tumors and Infections of the Locomotor System contains the most complete and updated scientific program on the market. The most important features of the program include:

• Development of clinical cases presented by experts in trauma surgery. The graphic, schematic, and eminently practical contents with which they are created contain information that is indispensable for professional practice
• It contains exercises where the self-assessment process can be carried out to improve learning
• Interactive learning system based on algorithms for decision making in surgical patients with osteoarticular pathology and oncological and infectious processes
• Clinical practice guidelines on the different pathologies
• All of this will be complemented by 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

This postgraduate diploma may be the best investment you can make in the selection of an updated program for two reasons: in addition to updating your knowledge in spine surgery and tumors and infections of the locomotor system, you will obtain a postgraduate diploma from TECH Global University"

Its teaching staff includes specialists of recognized prestige in trauma surgery, who bring their experience to this training.

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 an immersive training program to train in real situations.

This program is designed around Problem Based Learning, whereby the surgeon must try to solve the different professional practice situations that arise during the course. For this purpose, the physician will be assisted by an innovative interactive video system developed by renowned experts in the field of trauma surgery with extensive teaching experience.
