To meet your goals of self-improvement and updating in the field of Radiophysics for Nursing, TECH provides you with an unparalleled 100% online methodology"
Interdisciplinary collaboration is a fundamental pillar during intraoperative radiation therapy, especially as it affects cancer patients. In order to carry out an adequate approach, collaboration between several healthcare professionals is needed to design highly personalized treatment plans. This collaboration ensures that factors such as the location, size and nature of the tumors are taken into account. In particular, nurses are some of the most important assets in the care and treatment process. In their hands are responsibilities such as patient monitoring, cures and direct and instrumental collaboration with physicians in the operating room.
In this context, TECH will delve into the multidisciplinary roles within the Intraoperative Radiotherapy teams through a comprehensive Postgraduate certificate. Therefore, the curriculum will address the importance of communication between radiotherapists, surgeons, oncologists and nurses. Also, the syllabus will provide several practical examples, based on real case studies in simulated learning environments.
On the other hand, the didactic materials will emphasize the ethical considerations that must be taken into account in clinical decision making. In addition, it will provide guidelines for nursing staff to participate in therapeutic strategies in a more fluid and efficient way.
The program is based on the revolutionary Relearning method. This learning system consists in the reiteration of the most relevant contents, in such a way that they are recorded in the memory of the students in a progressive and natural way.
The program will also offer various clinical case studies, which will allow students to get closer to the reality of medical care. Along the same lines, students will have access at all times to a digital library full of audiovisual materials (explanatory videos, interactive summaries or infographics) and additional didactic materials such as complementary readings. In this way, students will consolidate their knowledge in a more dynamic way.
