Delve into hospital techniques for the management of irradiation syndromes with TECH, the best digital university in the world according to Forbes"

In the specialty of Nuclear Medicine, specialists constantly use radiopharmaceuticals to obtain medical images and treat certain conditions. However, it is important that these exposures are carried out under strict control to ensure the safety of both patients and medical staff. 
In this context, nurses must be actively involved and highly specialized in the estimation of the risk of exposure to ionizing radiation. In this way, they will be able to determine the risks associated with their use and apply the most appropriate radiological protection measures and collaborate with the rest of the health professionals in their containment.

Aware of the importance of this, TECH has implemented an innovative program that will provide nurses with an academic and systematic approach to radiation. Designed by a teaching group of excellence, the syllabus will address the dose limits stipulated by the International Commission on Radiological Protection. In this line, the syllabus will delve into the role of Radiobiology in different Radiotherapy procedures. In this way, graduates will attain a broad knowledge of the effects of phenomena such as proliferation and dose-response interaction. On the other hand, the didactic contents will offer the most advanced epidemiological studies on cell survival.

On the other hand, TECH will provide its students with a 100% online Virtual Campus, adapted to the needs of working professionals who want to advance in their careers. In addition, it will employ the  Relearning methodology, based on the repetition of key concepts to fix knowledge and facilitate learning. In this way, the combination of flexibility and a robust pedagogical approach makes it highly accessible. All of this will be accessible remotely, from any portable device, or can be downloaded for offline consultation. Also, graduates will have at their fingertips a variety of multimedia resources, including explanatory videos, interactive summaries, among others.

You will get a comprehensive view of the interaction of radiation with organ tissues through this exhaustive course"

Become a specialized nurse to work in Nuclear Medicine services with this 6-week program"

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

The 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 immersive education programmed to learn 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 during the academic year For this purpose, the students will be assisted by an innovative interactive video system created by renowned and experienced experts.

You will update your knowledge of the parameters that affect the biological response of patients to radiation"

Thanks to the Relearning system used by TECH you will reduce the long hours of study and memorization"

Upon completion of this study, students will have a broad understanding of the interactions of ionizing radiation with tissues. In this way, they will be able to identify the effects and risks of irradiation at the cellular level. At the same time, the nurses will delve into the different effective mathematical models in radiobiological matters. They will also carry out useful simulations to deal with the distribution of radiation in the organs during radiotherapy treatments. 

You will acquire a holistic view of the main advances related to Radiobiology and the implications they have for your practice as a nurse”
