You will delve into the most advanced tools to evaluate External Radiation Therapy planning throughout this exhaustive academic itinerary" 

Technological development in the healthcare field has allowed External Radiation Therapy to be enriched with new tools with which to administer radiation doses with high precision. 3D Radiotherapy (RT3D) is one of the latest trends in Clinical Dosimetry. This procedure has many advantages, including a more detailed visualization of the tumor and its relationship with other organs. Moreover, three-dimensional images are useful for monitoring the administration of irradiation in real time, which helps to make adjustments to therapies. For this reason, all healthcare personnel must be properly specialized in its advantages. In particular, nurses must be up to date in order to contribute to the development of therapeutic procedures in the most efficient way.

In order for these professionals to master the applications of the innovative technologies at their disposal, TECH will ensure a comprehensive study. With its very complete syllabus, nurses will learn the basics of the most advanced Expert Radiotherapy procedures. Likewise, the curriculum, developed by an educated teaching team, will delve into intensity-modulated therapies. In this way, the academic itinerary will analyze in depth factors such as optimization and specific quality control. This will ensure that graduates can keep abreast of how vital organ functions are preserved beyond radiation. Also, the teaching materials of this university program will allow students to stay at the forefront of health technology, differentiating modern tools including Linear Electron Accelerators.

In addition, the training is based on theRelearning method, of which TECH is a pioneer. This system uses the reiteration of key contents in a natural way, ensuring that they remain in the students' memory without the need to memorize. It should be noted that the only thing required to access the Virtual Campus is a device with Internet access (such as cell phones, tablets or computers). In addition, students will be able to access a digital library full of additional didactic materials to enrich their educational experience.
