You will intensively delve into allergic, cutaneous, systemic and respiratory manifestations in children's patients, so that you can expand and update your knowledge in a complete and exhaustive way"

The diagnosis of different types of allergies is part of the daily work of many medical specialists, especially in the field of pediatrics. Children come to your offices with various clinical pictures: irritated eyes, respiratory difficulties, atopic dermatitis and in the most severe cases, anaphylaxis, which end up being identified and treated as allergic to dust, dust mites, a certain food, etc. However, there are occasions on which the manifestation of this pathology does not match the specifications of this immune response, in addition to the patient’s inability to communicate what is happening to them. All this may lead to a late or misleading diagnosis.

For this reason, specialists must know in detail and handle the latest scientific advances in terms of protocols for the approach and treatment of these cases, which will allow them to quickly recognize what is happening to the child. Based on this, TECH has considered it necessary to create a qualification that gathers the most current information related to the acute and chronic manifestations of allergic disease in the child and adolescent patient, so that the graduate can get up to date with the most relevant issues in this medical context.

It is a program designed by experts in Pediatrics and Allergology who have created a multidisciplinary and dynamic syllabus, but, above all, adapted to the most demanding requirements of the profession. In addition, its online format and the additional material that you will find in the virtual classroom, give this Postgraduate diploma a high degree of personalization, being able to adapt the educational experience to your own schedule and the degree of knowledge you wish to acquire.

Thanks to this Postgraduate diploma you will be able to get up to date on the factors that influence allergic sensitization and the achievement of tolerance on the triggering cause"

This Postgraduate diploma in Acute and Chronic Manifestations of Allergic Disease in Children 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 Pediatrics and Allergology.
• 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 the self-assessment process can be carried out 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.

It is 450 hours of the best theoretical, practical and additional material, with which you can get a broad and contextualized view of the latest developments in pediatric allergology in a multidisciplinary manner"

The program’s teaching staff includes professionals from sector 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 throughout the program. For this purpose, the student will be assisted by an innovative interactive video system created by renowned and experienced experts.

Delve into the most relevant physical examination findings suggestive of atopy will help you hone your diagnostic skills"

Organize your academic calendar in a personalized way and access the virtual classroom whenever and wherever you want"

Thanks to the pedagogical methodology that this university has used in the design of the content of this Acute and Chronic Manifestations of Allergic Disease in Children, its teaching load has been considerably reduced, without renouncing, of course, to the quality and completeness of its syllabus. As it is presented in a multidisciplinary way, it is possible to replace the long and tedious hours of study with additional material in audiovisual format, making it dynamic and entertaining and favoring an effective and exhaustive updating of knowledge.

TECH guarantees that you will be able to implement the latest advances in the treatment of atopic dermatitis in your professional practice, even before finishing this Postgraduate diploma"
