Thanks to this 100% online Postgraduate certificate, you will incorporate into your practice the most innovative interventional techniques to provide symptomatic relief to patients in Palliative Care"

The management of pain in palliative care patients represents a significant clinical challenge due to the complexity of the symptoms and the diversity of underlying causes. The effectiveness of pharmacological pain treatment in this setting depends on a thorough understanding of pain mechanisms, as well as careful selection and accurate choice of analgesic medications. With this in mind, medical professionals must remain at the forefront of the most up-to-date and effective pharmacological strategies for the management of the symptoms of terminally ill patients. Therefore, specialists will enrich their clinical practice with sophisticated, evidence-based tools to improve the quality of life of their patients.

In this scenario, TECH is implementing a pioneering and cutting-edge program in Pain Management in Palliative Care. The study plan will examine in depth the most frequent types of pain in these individuals, taking into account issues such as epidemiology, pathophysiology or topographic atlas. In turn, the syllabus will provide graduates with innovative imaging techniques to evaluate the causes of pain, as well as different scales and algorithms. Along the same lines, the academic contents will delve into the most effective pharmacological treatments aimed at reducing symptoms. Likewise, the program will provide specialists with the keys to manage advanced interventional techniques such as Plexus, Ganglion Ablation or Infiltration or Infiltrations. Therefore, graduates will develop clinical competencies that will allow them to plan personalized, effective and evidence-based pain therapies.

In terms of program methodology, TECH offers a 100% online educational environment to suit the needs of busy professionals looking to advance their careers. Through the Relearning teaching system, based on the repetition of key concepts to fix knowledge and facilitate learning, flexibility is combined with a robust pedagogical approach. This program also integrates an exclusive and comprehensive Masterclass given by a renowned International Guest Director.

The program’s teaching staff includes professionals from the sector who contribute their work experience to this specializing 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 course. For this purpose, students will be assisted by an innovative interactive video system created by renowned and experienced experts.

You will handle the most avant-garde non-invasive techniques for pain control, such as Neuromodulators, Infiltration or Plexus Ablations"

A syllabus based on the Relearning system, which will facilitate the renewal of knowledge in the therapeutic approach to palliative care patients"

This university program will provide physicians with a solid understanding of the pathophysiological mechanisms of pain in palliative care patients with advanced disease. The academic itinerary will focus on the most frequent types of symptoms in these individuals, as well as the most appropriate pharmacological treatments to reduce the symptomatology of common comorbidities such as liver failure or cognitive impairment. In addition, the syllabus will provide graduates with the most innovative interventional techniques in this field (such as Infiltrations, Plexus or Neuromodulators). Therefore, graduates will make evidence-based clinical decisions in pain management.

You will learn valuable lessons through real cases in simulated learning environments and transfer them to your regular clinical practice"
