TECH has used for the composition of this Postgraduate diploma the most updated information on Oculoplastic surgery, so that you can keep up to date with all its novelties in a 100% online way"

Whether at a medical or surgical level, Oculoplasty has become one of the most demanded interventions within Ophthalmology. The possibilities that arise in this branch and in terms of the management of patients with conditions in the periocular facial structures, as well as the highly promising results that have been obtained over the years, make it one of the most important subspecialties in the medical sector. It includes a wide variety of methods, from the treatment of ocular tumors or entropion and extropion disorders, to aesthetic intervention with the correction of bags or eyelid drooping.

The catalog of medical and surgical procedures that it handles, added to the great advances that have been made in recent decades, is what has led TECH to develop this Postgraduate diploma in Tear Ducts and Anophthalmic Cavity Management. This is a program designed by experts in Ophthalmology with which the specialist will be able to get up to date, in a 100% online way, on all the news related to the anatomy and physiology of this part of the human body, as well as the latest medical advances that have been made in terms of improving the diagnosis and treatment of possible conditions that may affect the periocular region.

For this purpose, it will have 450 hours of theoretical, practical and additional material presented in different formats, so that the updating can be done in a dynamic way and with a personalized deepening. In addition, all the content will be available from the beginning of the academic course, so that the graduate can organize himself without any problem, and can be downloaded to any device with internet connection (either PC, tablet or mobile) for offline consultation whenever needed, even after completing the Postgraduate diploma.

A degree that delves into the latest developments related to the innervation and irrigation of the periocular area through a dynamic and comprehensive syllabus"

This Postgraduate diploma in Tear Ducts and Anophthalmic Cavity Management 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 Ophthalmology 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
• Practical exercises where the self-assessment process can be carried out to improve learning
• Its special emphasis on innovative methodologies
• 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

You will have hundreds of hours of the best material, so that you can get the most out of this academic experience, with a personalized schedule and without face-to-face classes"

The program’s teaching staff includes professionals from the sector who contribute their work experience to this educational program, as well as renowned specialists from leading societies and prestigious universities.

Its multimedia content, developed with the latest educational technology, will provide the professional with situated and contextual learning, i.e., a simulated environment that will provide an immersive education programmed to learn in real situations.

The design of this program focuses on Problem-Based Learning, by means of which the professional must try to solve the different professional practice situations that are presented throughout the academic course. For this purpose, the student will be assisted by an innovative interactive video system created by renowned experts.

In less than 450 hours you will have gained detailed knowledge of the latest developments related to the lacrimal pathways and the management of the anophthalmic cavity"

It is a degree designed by experts in Ophthalmology who know in detail the needs of professionals in this field"

Elaborating this Postgraduate diploma has been a real challenge for TECH and its team of specialists, who, despite being versed in Ophthalmology, have had to carry out an exhaustive research task in order to create a complete, updated program adapted to the pedagogical criteria that define and differentiate this university. In addition, with an emphasis on the multidisciplinary factor that characterizes all the qualifications of this center, they have also included in their content hours of additional material in audiovisual format, research articles, dynamic summaries and complementary readings so that the graduate can take full advantage of this academic experience and delve into the most relevant aspects of the syllabus for their professional performance.

A degree with which you can delve into the latest developments in the preoperative management of the anticoagulated or antiplatelet patient from the comfort of your home, or at any free time in your practice"
