Develop a comprehensive approach that includes familial risk screening, prevention, reproductive intervention and other aspects requires state-of-the-art knowledge in Clinical Genetics of Nephro-urological Diseases"

Acquire the ability to work with the most advanced genetic tools, and take a step ahead of the needs that the labor market will increasingly demand from medical professionals"

A wide variety of hereditary renal and urological diseases are currently known. These diseases affect children and adults alike and in some cases are often diagnosed in childhood, but their final stage does not develop until maturity.

In this course we will present a detailed description of several hereditary nephro-urological diseases such as polycystic kidney disease, Alport syndrome, Fabry disease and metabolic diseases among others through theoretical texts and resolution of clinical cases extracted from daily practice both at the level of molecular diagnosis and genetic counseling.

Acquire the most interesting advances in Clinical Genetics of Nephro-urological Diseases and open new professional paths"

Basic knowledge for the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of hereditary neurological diseases, most of them little known”

This program has been developed by professionals from different clinical genetics clinics in which they contribute their experience in daily practice, in the care of patients and families with a variety of hereditary disorders, both in genetic counseling and in prevention programs and prenatal and preconception counseling. The faculty involved in the course also carries out important research work in the field of Genetics. 

The course addresses, in its different modules, the basic and necessary knowledge for the management of patients and their diseases in a clinical genetics practice. It offers a practical approach to the different techniques most commonly used for the diagnosis of hereditary diseases, as well as the interpretation of their results. It offers an approach to the diseases that cause the highest number of consultations in daily practice in a Clinical Genetics service.

The course contains theoretical text about the subject matter, and practical examples taken from clinical cases that will facilitate understanding and the acquisition of in-depth knowledge.

Include in your work capacity the knowledge for the management of patients with nephrourological diseases from the genetic approach"

A training program that masterfully combines intensity and flexibility, making its objectives easily and comfortably achievable by the professional"

Currently not all hospitals have genetics units and it is foreseeable that all healthcare centers will have genetics units in the coming years. Students in this program will deepen the knowledge required to work as clinical geneticists both in the field of diagnosis and counseling in these units or to be part of multidisciplinary groups of medical services, where patients with hereditary diseases are treated.

Acquire the ability to apply genetics to the treatment of nephrourological diseases in just a few weeks"
