Would you like to update your clinical management of the most frequent viral diseases? This Postgraduate diploma will provide you with everything you need to achieve it 100% online” 

Arboviruses, zoonoses or viral hemorrhagic fevers comprise a wide range of diseases: rabies, tuberculosis, tick-borne encephalitis, dengue fever, filaria, etc. This group of viral pathologies causes millions of deaths every year around the world and its resistance to the environment has favored the mutation of the microorganisms that cause them, making their eradication difficult and forcing specialists to constantly establish new diagnostic and therapeutic guidelines to help patients recover their health and avoid potential sequelae.  

In this context, medical professionals, in addition to playing a major role in health care, are forced to constantly update their knowledge in this regard, which sometimes becomes complicated due to lack of time and the speed with which new treatments and clinical guidelines emerge. For this reason, and as a manifesto of TECH's commitment to this field, it has developed a complete program that includes the latest news on hemorrhagic viral fevers, arbovirosis and zoonosis in a convenient 100% online format. Over six months, our students will be able to delve into the latest advances in epidemiology, focusing on the most effective protocols and approaches used in clinical settings. They will intensively work through updated knowledge of rare diseases and present challenges in infectious diseases, so they can incorporate into their practice the most accurate and innovative diagnostic techniques in current clinical contexts.  

For this purpose, they will benefit from 450 hours of diverse content designed by experts in microbiology, medicine and infectious diseases, who are also part of the teaching team that will guide them throughout this academic experience. This material includes detailed videos, research articles and complementary readings so students can contextualize the information in the syllabus and personalize their study of each section. Our students will thus be able to hone their skills while balancing the program with their work by designing their own study timetable according to their clinical schedule.

You will be able to update your knowledge of the epidemiology of infectious diseases throughout 450 hours of the best theoretical, practical and additional content”
