A Professional master’s degree 100% online that will bring you up to date in the main Endocrine, Neurological, Respiratory or Immunological disorders in newborn patients”  

Scientific advances have allowed in recent years to incorporate to the Neonatal Units the most accurate pharmacology to address respiratory and neurological pathologies, Sepsis or complex infections such as Meningitis. Likewise, the promotion of good family-centered care practices, the strengthening of breastfeeding and progress in specific formulas for premature infants have had a significant influence on their survival and patient satisfaction. 

In this sense, professionals dedicated to this area of Pediatrics are faced with a daily challenge in the management of newborns who present from very frequent disorders such as jaundice to diseases considered rare in which significant advances have been achieved. In this line, TECH has decided to create this 12-month Professional master’s degree in Neonatology, designed by an excellent team of experts in this field. 

It is an intensive program that will provide the graduate with a complete update on working methods in Neonatology, the assessment of preterm infants, pulmonary development and pathophysiology, the proper management of oxygen therapy, the approach to borderline situations and the singularities in the case of Neonatal Sepsis. 

All this, in addition, with a syllabus designed with a theoretical-practical perspective and complementary teaching material based on video summaries of each topic, videos in detail, readings of scientific research and case studies that the doctor will access comfortably, at any time of the day, from a cell phone, tablet or computer with an Internet connection. 

A university qualification that does not require attendance at centers or classes with pre-set schedules, so that the professional will have greater freedom to self-manage their access time and reconcile their daily activities with quality teaching.  

The Relearning method will allow you to reduce the hours of study and focus on the most important concepts of this degree in Neonatology”   

This Professional master’s degree in Neonatology contains the most complete and up-to-date scientific program on the market. Its most notable features are:

• The development of practical cases presented by experts in Pediatrics and Neonatology
• The graphic, schematic and practical contents with which it is conceived provide scientific and practical information on those disciplines that are essential for professional practice
• Practical exercises where the self-assessment process can be carried out to improve learning
