Upgrade your skills for the care of obstetric and neonatal patients in emergency situations through this very complete TECH's Hybrid Professional Master's Degree"

Today, nurses have within their reach new tools and technologies for the care of obstetric and neonatal emergencies. Vital signs monitors, infusion pumps and portable ultrasound scanners are some of the equipment that allow more efficient monitoring and more personalized care to mothers and newborns. In addition, the implementation of clinical training simulators provides the possibility of acquiring concrete skills and improving the capacity to respond to such emergencies. At the same time, it is essential that these professionals constantly update their skills in the handling of the latest protocols and procedures in this area of healthcare.

However, at the educational level, nursing personnel face serious difficulties in keeping up to date with innovations in this field. This is due to the fact that most of the programs available to them have a heavy theoretical load, which does not fit their schedules and needs for improvement, where the priority is to acquire new competencies. In this context, TECH proposes a program with a disruptive modality of studies that distributes learning in two distinct stages. During the first stage, participants will analyze concepts and trends 100% online, on an interactive platform with various multimedia resources to strengthen their knowledge. In addition, the Relearning method will be transversal to the whole teaching process.

In the second stage, graduates will spend 3 weeks in a on-site clinical internship. From a first level institution, they will develop complex tasks, including the assessment and follow-up of real mothers and newborns. They will also work together with prestigious experts in this field and will be supported by an assistant tutor to overcome any doubts that may arise during their daily professional practice.

In the theoretical stage of this program, innovative teaching tools in multimedia format and a 100% online learning platform are used for learning"

This Hybrid professional master’s degree in Obstetric and Neonatal Emergencies for Nursing contains the most complete and up-to-date scientific program on the market. The most important features include:

• Development of more than 100 clinical cases presented by nursing professionals
• 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
• An algorithm-based interactive learning system for decision-making in the clinical situations presented throughout the course
• Practical clinical guides on approaching different pathologies
• With a special emphasis on evidence-based medicine and research methodologies in Intensive Care Nursing
• All 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

During the 3 week on-site internship, the nurse will apply first level skills in a clinical setting with real patients"

In this Hybrid professional master’s degree, with a vocational nature and blended learning modality, the program is aimed at updating nursing professionals who require a high level of qualification. The content is based on the latest scientific evidence and is organized in a didactic way to integrate theoretical knowledge into nursing practice. The theoretical-practical elements allow professionals to update their knowledge and help them to make the right decisions in patient care.

Thanks to the multimedia content, developed with the latest educational technology, nursing professionals will benefit from situated and 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.

If you want to offer pregnant and neonatal patients personalized and effective care as a nurse, this TECH's Hybrid professional master’s degree will give you all the necessary skills"

The practical internship of this program will take place in a first level hospital center equipped with the best care tools"

The syllabus of this program stands out in the educational market for its analysis of the most innovative procedures and technologies with which a nurse can deal with Obstetric and Neonatal Emergencies. The program consists of several teaching modules that cover the use of modern instruments such as ultrasound scans for neonates and drug infusion pumps after birth. At the same time, it delves into the most specific and efficient methods to reduce morbidity and morale of the mother and child. For all this, TECH relies on a 100% online and interactive learning platform and the innovative teaching method Relearning.

TECH offers you all the advantages of 100% online teaching through an interactive platform with multiple theoretical, multimedia and interactive resources"
