New scenarios in anesthesia procedures motivate us to propose new specialization programs that fit the real needs of experienced professionals, so that they can incorporate advances in local and regional anesthesia, and pain management, into their medical practice”

The pharmacological and technological advances in the last decade have undoubtedly facilitated a comprehensive approach to pain. However, despite all this, the incidence of pain is high, being considered the main clinical complication that prevents surgical patient hospital discharge, and the main cause for failure in the outpatient surgery setting.

This postgraduate diploma aims to show all the conceptual, organizational, pharmacological and technological innovations related to the new approach to pain. The specialization of specific units and multidisciplinary groups seeks to provide an effective response to this burdensome and frequent health problem.

It includes all the most current topics in the treatment of chronic and acute postoperative pain, focusing especially on the latest aspects of its treatment and the various strategies to combat it. Likewise, the topics chosen are of maximum interest for anesthesiologists or other physicians close to this specialty, with special emphasis on the management of specialized locoregional and invasive techniques. There is no doubt that the incorporation of ultrasound to the surgical environment has facilitated, and at the same time has modified, professionals' behavior when performing the different locoregional techniques, optimizing results and reducing morbidity.

Furthermore, the proposed syllabus includes all the aspects that physicians should know about the pathophysiology, diagnosis and treatment of pain, both chronic and acute, with special emphasis on the new aspects that may have appeared in the different modalities of pain management.

You will learn, through the latest educational technology, the latest advances in local and regional anesthesia, and pain management”

This postgraduate diploma in Locoregional Anesthesia and Pain Therapeutics contains the most complete and up-to-date scientific program on the market. The most important features include:

• Clinical cases presented by specialists in anesthesiology and other areas. 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
• Real high-resolution images of pathologies, diagnostic imaging tests and guided procedures
• Presentation of practical workshops on procedures and techniques
• Algorithm-based interactive learning system for decision-making in the presented clinical situations
• Action protocols with the most important advances in the specialty
• All this will be complemented by theoretical lessons, questions to the expert, debate forums on controversial topics, and individual reflection assignments
• With a special emphasis on evidence-based medicine and research methodologies in anesthesiology
• 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 when choosing a refresher program for two reasons: in addition to updating your knowledge of Locoregional Anesthesia and Pain Therapeutics, you will obtain a qualification from TECH Global University”

The teaching staff is made up of a team of leading anesthesiologists, who bring to this specialization the experience of their work, in addition to recognized specialists in other medical areas

The multimedia content developed with the latest educational technology will provide the physician 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 student must try to solve the different professional practice situations that arise during the course. For this reason, you will be assisted by an innovative, interactive video system created by renowned and experienced experts in the field of Locoregional Anesthesia and Pain Therapeutics with extensive teaching experience.

Add the latest developments in locoregional anesthesia and pain treatment to your medical practice and improve patient prognosis"

It includes real clinical cases to bring medical practice as close as possible to the development of the program"

The main objective is to facilitate the incorporation of the advances that are being made in locoregional anesthesia and pain therapy procedures, ensuring that specialists can update their knowledge in a practical way, with the latest educational technology and adapting the educational process to their real needs.

This refresher program will generate a sense of confidence in decision making during locoregional anesthesia procedures and pain therapeutics, and will help you grow professionally”
