This Master's Degree provides you with the latest knowledge in techniques and materials used in Pediatric Orthopedics, including modules on osteoarticular infections and dysplasias” 

The incursion of technologies applied to medicine has recently led to an increase in the number of interventions performed by means of surgeries navigated with mixed reality, bioresorbable implants or general improvements in osteosynthesis materials. A boost to Pediatric Orthopedics, which, in turn, starts from a knowledge base of the entire locomotor system of the child.

In addition to treatment itself, advances in diagnosis, on which professionals in the field are constantly working, continue to be key. An early and adequate detection of certain pathologies favors child recovery, which is also undergoing full development. That is why more and more specialists are demanding to renew their knowledge in the field. This Master's Degree is born in this context, where physicians will delve into radial longitudinal deficiency of the upper limb, Embryology, anatomy and biomechanics of the hip, Osgood-Schlatter disease or the staging of musculoskeletal tumors.

The multimedia didactic material provided by TECH on all its programs, will allow professionals to access advanced knowledge through video summaries, detailed videos, interactive diagrams and clinical case simulations. All this, with the main objective that students acquire up-to-date knowledge in the field.

What is more, professionals are offered higher education in a convenient and flexible format. Students only need an electronic device with an Internet connection to access the virtual campus, the syllabus and the rest of the material. All of which will be available from the very first day. This will allow students to distribute the course load according to their needs, with a 100% online program, and no fixed class schedules. An ideal program for people looking for a university qualification that allows them to balance their work and personal responsibilities. 

A 100% online academic program designed for professionals like you, who wish to balance their work responsibilities with a quality education”

This Master's Degree in Pediatric Orthopedics contains the most complete and up-to-date scientific program on the market. The most outstanding features of the Master's Degree are:

• Developing practical cases presented by experts in Pediatric Orthopedics
• 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

From your computer and at any time, you can comfortably update your knowledge of osteoid osteoma or aneurysmal bone cyst” 

The program’s teaching staff includes professionals from the sector who contribute their work experience to this training program, as well as renowned specialists from leading societies and prestigious 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 specialization 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 throughout the program. For this purpose, the student will be assisted by an innovative interactive video system created by renowned and experienced experts. 

Access the most recent scientific studies in the early diagnosis of adolescent hip pathology"

This program will help you update your knowledge of the emergency approach to pediatric patients with spine pathology, torticollis or atlantoaxial instability"

TECH uses the Relearning system on all its programs, which is based on the reiteration of content, allowing students to advance in a more natural and progressive way throughout the program. Furthermore, it is a method that reduces the long study hours that are so common to other methodologies. Under this model, professionals will much more flexibly obtain an advanced update of their knowledge on the surgical approach to the spine, tumors or the most commonly used diagnostic techniques for the detection of certain pathologies.   

The multimedia content on the program will allow you to delve into skeletal dysplasias and syndromic diseases in a more dynamic way”
