Why study at TECH?
Get the most up-to-date knowledge on the management of Neuroendocrine Tumors and other oncologic pathologies associated with glands and hormones through this very complete TECH’s Endocrine Oncologic Pathology”
Through scientific and technological advances, medicine is constantly updating the strategies and tools used for the diagnosis and treatment of Endocrine Oncologic Pathologies. An example of these is the emergence of modern genetic tests to identify familial DNA mutations that indicate the possible occurrence of Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia Syndromes. The same applies to the approach to Neuroendocrine Tumors where Peptide Receptor Radionuclide Therapy has become more relevant. The constant renewal of this health field makes it difficult to update specialists, who often demand academic programs that facilitate the assimilation of new concepts and skills.
Aware of this scenario, TECH has developed a pioneering educational modality that will solve these problems. In this way, the Endocrine Oncologic Pathology in Endocrine Oncologic Pathology combines, like no other degree, all the knowledge that the physician will need to be at the forefront of this area of health care.
The pedagogical itinerary consists of two distinct parts. The first part dedicates 1,500 hours to the theoretical and online study of the most significant contributions to this health specialty in recent years. In addition to delving into the clinical manifestations recently discovered for some types of tumors, it examines the methodologies to be followed for their correct identification and elimination. For the mastery of all the contents offered by this educational opportunity, TECH also provides Relearning, an innovative learning model of great didactic value.
In the second phase of this program, there will be a clinical internship to be completed in 3 weeks.This intensive, face-to-face stay will enable the specialist to be exposed to first-rate technological resources for the approach to endocrine tumors. Also in this pedagogical stage, the specialist will apply innovative care protocols on real patients, directly verifying their multidisciplinary support. You will also receive advice from leading experts in the field and the personalized guidance of an assistant tutor. Through all these elements, the graduate will have the best update and will be able to add the most modern procedures in the market to their medical practice.
Throughout 1,500 hours of theoretical study, you will be updated on the steps to follow for the multidisciplinary approach to Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia Syndromes”
This Hybrid professional master’s degree in Endocrine Oncologic Pathology contains the most complete and up-to-date scientific program on the market. The most important features include:
- More than 100 clinical cases presented by Endocrine Oncologic Pathology experts
- The graphic, schematic, and practical contents with which they are created, provide scientific and practical information on the disciplines that are essential for professional practice
- Comprehensive systematized action plans for the main pathologies
- Presentation of practical workshops on procedures diagnosis, and treatment techniques
- An algorithm-based interactive learning system for decision-making in the clinical situations presented throughout the course
- Practical clinical guides on approaching different pathologies
- All of this will be complemented by theoretical lessons, questions to the expert, debate forums on controversial topics, and individual reflection assignments
- Content that is accessible from any fixed or portable device with an Internet connection
- Furthermore, you will be able to carry out a clinical internship in one of the best hospital centers
The 3 weeks of clinical practice integrated to this Hybrid professional master’s degree will give you access to real patients, with various endocrine oncologic pathologies, which you will treat according to the most updated protocols of this specialty”
In this proposal for a Master's Degree, of a professionalizing nature and hybrid learning modality, the program is aimed at updating professionals who require a high level of qualification in relation to the management of Endocrine Oncologic Pathology. The contents are based on the latest scientific evidence, and oriented in an educational way to integrate theoretical knowledge into practice, and the theoretical-practical elements will facilitate knowledge update and decision-making in patient management.
Thanks to the multimedia content, developed with the latest educational technology, Medicine professionals will benefit from contextual learning, i.e., a simulated environment that will provide immersive learning 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 throughout the program. For this purpose, the students will be assisted by an innovative interactive video system created by renowned and experienced experts.
During the 100% online study of the first stage of this degree, you will add to your professional practice the most modern strategies for the approach of differentiated thyroid carcinoma tumors”
By means of this Hybrid professional master’s degree, you will apply novel treatments against Neuroendocrine Tumors such as Radionuclide Therapy with peptide receptor radionuclides through radiopharmaceuticals such as Lutathera”
Teaching Planning
The syllabus of this program provides an in-depth theoretical overview of the pathogenesis of all types of tumors of endocrine origin. In particular, it examines those affecting the glands of the Pituitary, Hypothalamus, Thyroid, among others. At the same time, it analyzes in detail the most recently implemented diagnostic methods in Endocrine Oncology. It will also expand the specialist's knowledge about the origin, symptoms and treatments against Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia Syndromes. The study of the academic modules of this very complete syllabus will be supported, at all times, by methodologies of great didactic value such as Relearning.
