The World Health Organization estimates that, each year, 400,000 children and adolescents suffer from cancer, specifically pathologies such as leukemias, lymphomas or Wilms' tumors. In this sense, Radiotherapy is an effective procedure for their treatment. In view of this situation, healthcare institutions are constantly modernizing their procedures in order to apply the most advanced electron beam procedures. Therefore, experts must keep abreast of the latest trends in their work practice and, thus, provide cutting-edge therapies to their patients and contribute to improving their quality of life.

To help them with this task, TECH has implemented a comprehensive university program that will enable physicians to optimally handle the most innovative equipment for performing External Radiation Therapy treatments. Under the supervision of a distinguished teaching staff, the syllabus will delve into the use of the Linear Electron Accelerator. In this way, specialists will carry out special techniques such as Handrontherapy to treat localized tumors in areas close to critical structures of the body. In addition, the curriculum will analyze the equipment in image-guided External Radiation Therapy, emphasizing photon beams in physical dosimetry.

At the same time, TECH offers a 100% online educational environment, adapted to the needs of health professionals seeking to advance 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. In addition, the only thing the expert will need is a device with Internet access, such as a cell phone, computer or tablet, to access the Virtual Campus. In this space, they will have a library full of multimedia resources to develop a dynamic and interactive update of their skills.
