Introduction to the Program

A complete and effective up-to-date training in the scientific innovations in the field of the Definition and Pathogenesis of HPV created for professionals in this specialist area”

During this comprehensive Postgraduate certificate, the student will have the opportunity to acquire the necessary basic knowledge to face situations that arise in patients suspected of having contracted HPV. From the moment of diagnosis and the development of the guidelines that the specialist must follow, to the information on procedures or attitudes to eradicate in this medical practice, the student will learn to integrate new techniques and the most advanced procedures in this discipline into their work.

What distinguishes this Postgraduate certificate from others, is its eminent practical vision. This approach has been implemented in all the teaching materials that the student will use during their training. Our goal: to enable you to start applying what you have learned immediately in your work.

With a practice-focused vision, this innovative training approach will allow you to offer your patients the most up-to-date and concrete information"

This Postgraduate certificate in Definition and Pathogenesis of HPV offers you the advantages of a high-level scientific, teaching, and technological Postgraduate certificate. These are some of its most notable features:

Latest technology in online teaching software
Highly visual teaching system, supported by graphic and schematic contents that are easy to assimilate and understand
Practical cases presented by practising experts
State-of-the-art interactive video systems
Teaching supported by telepractice
Continuous updating and recycling systems
Self-regulating learning: full compatibility with other occupations
Practical exercises for self-evaluation and learning verification
Support groups and educational synergies: questions to the expert, debate and knowledge forums
Communication with the teacher and individual reflection work
Content that is accessible from any fixed or portable device with an Internet connection
Banks of complementary documentation permanently available, even after the Postgraduate certificate

It incorporates the most advanced knowledge in different situations occurring in the patient with HPV, through highly effective online learning. The most practical, useful and efficient way to update your knowledge on this subject"

Our teaching staff is composed of medical professionals and practising specialists. In this way, we ensure that we provide you with the most innovative training we are aiming for. A multidisciplinary team of professors with training and experience in different environments, who will develop the theoretical knowledge in an efficient way, but, above all, will bring their practical knowledge derived from their own experience to the course: one of the differential qualities of this course.

This mastery of the subject is complemented by the effectiveness of the methodology used in the design of this course. Developed by a multidisciplinary team of e-learning experts, it integrates the latest advances in educational technology. This way, you will be able to study with a range of comfortable and versatile multimedia tools that will give you the operability you need in your training.

The design of this program is based on Problem-Based Learning: an approach that conceives learning as a highly practical process. To achieve this remotely, we will use telepractice: with the help of an innovative interactive video system, and learning from an expert, you will be able to acquire the knowledge as if you were actually dealing with the scenario you are learning about. A concept that will allow you to integrate and fix learning in a more realistic and permanent way.

The most outstanding aspect of our educational formula is the possibility of hands-on learning, even while learning remotely: a challenge that we have achieved and that provides our students with the best results”

Observing the expert, while performing the task, triggers brain mechanisms similar to those activated when performing the same activity: this is the principle of the high efficiency of our "learning from an expert"

Syllabus
