Introduction to the Program
You will apply the most advanced treatments in Brachytherapy and you will effectively fight breast cancer thanks to this 100% online TECH program"
Radiobiology is a fundamental discipline in the field of Nursing. This branch offers a comprehensive view on the biological effects of ionizing radiation on living tissues. Therefore, health professionals gain a better understanding to establish safe and effective doses in radiotherapy treatments. Â In this sense, this science is also useful in assessing the risks of irradiation, allowing physicians to make informed decisions in specific clinical situations. On the other hand, Radiobiology is essential both for research and for the development of new therapies affecting cancer cells
Aware of this reality, TECH has implemented an innovative program that combines the concepts of biology and radiation physics. Designed by an experienced faculty, this curriculum will delve into the interaction of radiation with organic tissues. In this way, students will develop mechanisms to repair radiation-induced damage to DNA structure. Moreover, the teaching materials will delve into the calibration of photon beams to ensure the consistency of treatments. In addition, the training will provide guidelines for the application of Clinical Dosimetry in Proton Therapy, based on calculation algorithms
To strengthen the mastery of these contents, the program will apply the innovative Relearning system, pioneer in TECH, which promotes the assimilation of complex concepts through the natural and progressive reiteration of them. For the analysis of its contents, students will only need a device with Internet access (such as a cell phone, computer or tablet) since the evaluation schedules and timetables can be planned individually. Likewise, in the Virtual Campus, students will be able to draw on a library full of multimedia resources (including interactive summaries, complementary readings and infographics) to strengthen their learning in a totally dynamic way
