The Hybrid professional master’s degree in Minimally Invasive Surgery in Pediatrics will help you master methods such as endobronchial and transbronchial biopsy to detect and treat diseases of the airway” 

Children and newborns have different pathologies that are susceptible to be solved by surgical methods and that, given the physical particularities of these patients, require techniques that alleviate their pain and favor a rapid postoperative recovery. That is why laparoscopic and endoscopic methods are constantly evolving, developing advances such as fluorescence-guided surgery to enhance visualization and ensure successful intervention. These avant-garde methods force surgeons who are experts in dealing with children and neonates to update their theoretical and practical knowledge in this field in order to perform effectively in their day-to-day professional work.

For this reason, and with the aim of providing physicians with all the existing advances in pediatric minimally invasive surgery, TECH has created this Hybrid professional master’s degree, which will allow the student to combine theoretical learning 100% online with a clinical internship of 120 hours in a high-level hospital center.

Throughout 12 months, the student will master the up-to-date procedures for the treatment of pathologies of the respiratory system through endoscopy or learn to diagnose various genitourinary diseases through laparoscopy. In addition, the student will assimilate the best skills in the handling of robotic surgery to face abdominal pathologies.

At the end of this theoretical teaching phase, in which they will benefit from teaching materials in a wide range of textual and multimedia formats to optimize your learning, students will access a 120-hour hospital internship. There, integrated in a multidisciplinary work team, you will transfer all the knowledge acquired in this program to real patients in order to achieve a first-class health care performance.
