Description

You will analyze the physical aspects of protons and their therapeutic impact thanks to this curriculum developed by TECH, the best digital university in the world according to Forbes”

Despite its advantages, the Proton Therapy therapeutic process presents several uncertainties and challenges that require nurses' attention. An example of this is the anatomical variability of the internal organs with the passage of time, which is caused by aspects such as respiration, digestion or tissue mobility. In this way, these factors can lead to confusion in the precise administration of doses, especially in the case of tumors close to critical structures. In this sense, the nursing staff must be prepared to recognize these incidences, report them to the physicians and participate in their monitoring.  

To support nurses in this task, TECH will provide a complete and updated Postgraduate certificate that will delve into the most advanced aspects of proton beams. Designed by an experienced teaching staff, this academic itinerary will delve into the many advances that have been made in the field of Proton Therapy. Therefore, the syllabus will analyze its biological and physical effects and dosimetric implications. In this way, students will approach new technologies and innovative procedures in oncology, as well as the planning models and calculation algorithms that allow accurate dosage administration. 

Moreover, the curriculum is complemented by multiple multimedia pills, specialized readings and case study simulations. This will allow students to engage in a fully dynamic learning process. The only thing students will need is a digital device with Internet access to access the Virtual Campus. The Virtual Campus will be available 24 hours a day. And all this without attendance or on-site classes with preset schedules, thus giving graduates the possibility to better manage their study time and reconcile their personal activities with a quality university program.

You will delve into the nursing care required by a patient with adverse side effects of proton therapy such as fatigue”

This Postgraduate certificate in Radiophysics in External Radiotherapy in Proton Therapy contains the most complete and up-to-date scientific program on the market. The most important features include:

  • The development of case studies presented by experts in Radiophysics
