You have at your fingertips 450 hours of rigorous and current information on Swallowing Disorders" 

The constant advance in the knowledge of Dysphagia has allowed the development of more accurate tools and scales to assess the severity and to carry out the most appropriate intervention. At the same time, interdisciplinary work has been promoted with experts from different areas, obtaining results for patients that are much more beneficial to their health.

In this scenario, there are advances in imaging technology such as videofluoroscopy and high-resolution endoscopy, enhancement of both liquid and solid foods to promote swallowing, as well as therapies to promote the muscles involved in the swallowing action. For this reason, TECH has decided to develop this 6-month Postgraduate diploma in Swallowing Disorders.

A comprehensive syllabus that leads throughout 450 hours to obtain the most current information in this field and based on the latest scientific evidence. In this way, the professional will delve into the understanding of the anatomy and physiology of normal Swallowing and Dysphagia, the advances in the approach to Dysphagia with new foods or the technical progress in the evaluation of the patient.

All this, through a multitude of pedagogical tools such as video summaries of each topic, videos in detail, specialized readings and clinical case studies. Furthermore, thanks to the Relearning method, based on the repetition of content, the specialist will not have to invest long hours of study and will be able to consolidate the most important concepts in a much more agile way.

In this way, professionals have an excellent opportunity to update their knowledge in this field by means of a flexible and convenient program to study. All you need is a digital device with an Internet connection to view, at any time of the day, the content hosted on the virtual platform. In this way, the physicians are faced with an ideal academic option to make their most demanding daily responsibilities compatible with a quality educational proposal.

TECH adapts to your schedule, that's why it has designed a flexible and 100% online program"

This Postgraduate diploma in Swallowing Disorders contains the most complete and up-to-date scientific program on the market. The most important features include:

• The development of practical cases presented by experts in Otorhinolaryngology and Speech Therapy
• The graphic, schematic, and practical contents with which they are created, provide scientific and practical information on the disciplines that are essential for professional practice
• Practical exercises where self-assessment can be used to improve learning
• Its special emphasis on innovative methodologies
• Theoretical lessons, questions to the expert, debate forums on controversial topics, and individual reflection assignments
• Content that is accessible from any fixed or portable device with an Internet connection

You will be aware of the main complementary tests performed to rule out neoplasms" 

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

Thanks to the Relearning method, you will not have to spend long hours studying and memorizing"
