Get up to date with the most recent advances in diabetes, including special considerations and studies on insulin resistance, metabolic and molecular pathogenesis"

Diabetes and obesity are two of the main diseases that affect a significant part of the population, both in developed and developing countries. Endocrinology therefore becomes a priority medical specialty for global organizations worldwide. 

In the field of clinical practice management and in the framework of daily activity, the specialist must have the best possible information at their disposal in order to speed up and maximize their decision-making capacity. Deciding involves weighing different possible alternatives and choosing those that best meet the objectives set. Therefore, prioritization and allocation of available resources should be based on the most advanced scientific information. 

In this task, pathophysiological knowledge of diseases that sometimes require a high degree of specialization comes into play. This requires frequent updating and rigorous knowledge on the part of the specialist, so TECH has assembled a teaching team with extensive experience in the clinical field of Endocrinology to provide this program with the best possible knowledge. 

The specialist will give an up to date and detailed tour of the main areas of endocrinology. In this way, you will be up to date on the most important issues for your work, incorporating recent advances in insulin therapy, lipid lowering drugs and other new approaches into your daily practice. 

All this in a 100% online format in which there are no pre-set classes or schedules, so it is the specialist themselves who decides the study times. A decisive advantage to be able to combine professional updating with the most demanding daily tasks.  

You will have at your disposal a large amount of support material, including real clinical cases, complementary readings and video summaries prepared by the teachers themselves"   

This Master's Degree in Update on Endocrinology contains the most complete and up to date educational program on the market. The most important features include:  

• The development of case studies presented by experts in Endocrinology
• The graphic, schematic, and eminently practical contents with which they are created, provide scientific and practical information on the disciplines that are essential for professional practice
• Practical exercises where self assessment can be used to improve learning
• Its special emphasis on innovative methodologies 
• Theoretical lessons, questions for experts and individual reflection work 
• Content that is accessible from any fixed or portable device with an Internet connection 

Access a modern compendium on the Etiology, Epidemiology and Pathophysiology of the main conditions of the endocrine system"

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 training programmed to train 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 during the academic year. For this purpose, the student will be assisted by an innovative interactive video system created by renowned and experienced experts.
