An exceptional program, created to provide medical professionals with the necessary specialization in clinical genetics, with the most comprehensive and up-to-date knowledge in the field” 

In current medical practice, genetics is a basic pillar for the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of a large number of diseases, most of which are poorly understood. Its role extends to all medical specialties. It is, therefore, essential for the specialists to know and update their knowledge in clinical genetics, since this is an area in constant growth and with developments that affect multiple medical specialties. 

This is why this TECH program has been created, bringing together the experience and expertise of a teaching team with extensive experience in leading clinical genetics practice. Thus, the most current developments in genetic diagnostic techniques, hereditary cancer, genetics of endocrine diseases, variable primary immunodeficiency and many other issues of great interest to the specialist are addressed throughout the entire syllabus. All with an eminently practical focus, providing numerous examples and real clinical cases that help to contextualize the contents. 

The program addresses in its different modules the advanced and up-to-date knowledge for the management of patients and their diseases in the clinical genetics practice. It offers a practical approach to the different techniques most commonly used for the diagnosis of hereditary diseases, as well as the interpretation of their results. Likewise, the diseases that cause the greatest number of consultations in daily practice are also discussed in depth, with an up-to-date approach adapted to the highest clinical level. 

Its online format makes it possible to combine it with the most demanding professional and personal activity, as it has eliminated the need for on-site classes and fixed schedules. All the content is available from day one, and can be downloaded from any device with an internet connection. This provides a unique flexibility and comfort to combine it with the most demanding professional and personal activity.
