Introduction to the Program

This program will allow you to apply the most up-to-date surgical protocols to patients with foot and ankle injuries, based on a 100% practical stay in a highly reputable clinical center"

Soft tissue reconstruction, the use of skin and bone grafts, as well as the implementation of various flaps are some of the most innovative trends in the field of Foot and Ankle Surgery. These new practices are complemented by the use of new radiological technologies and more in-depth functional tests for the diagnosis of various pathologies. Gradually, these advances have significantly changed this medical specialty, requiring the surgical staff to be increasingly trained to implement all these updates. 

Contradictorily, curricula that guarantee the updating of professionals emphasize these aspects in a theoretical way and neglect their practical application. TECH combats this context by applying an educational model, pioneer in its kind, where the graduate has direct access to cutting-edge surgical technologies and can apply these tools and other techniques in the care of real patients with musculoskeletal pathologies in this area of the lower motor apparatus. 

The 3-week educational process will take place in a renowned and demanding healthcare institution. The latter will be located in different geographical latitudes, giving the student the opportunity to choose which of them best suits the student's mobility conditions and study interests. From there, you will complete 8-hour consecutive days, Monday through Friday, and you will master the most modern dynamics of your professional practice. At the same time, they will be advised by an assistant tutor, who will be in charge of supervising their progress and promoting the inclusion of complete activities in their daily professional practice. 

The teaching materials of this program, elaborated by these specialists, have contents that are completely applicable to your professional experiences”
