Thanks to this Relearning-based Postgraduate diploma, you will provide holistic care to Oncology Patients and apply the most innovative therapeutic treatments to alleviate their symptoms"

As medicine progresses, health professionals have achieved a greater degree of knowledge regarding the evolution of terminal illnesses. Within this framework, Palliative Care has emerged as a vital, interdisciplinary field in the care of patients with advanced pathologies. With the advent of Industry 4.0, this field has been enriched by the implementation of novel therapeutic tools that address the various physical, emotional and social symptoms associated with terminal conditions. An example of this is thoracentesis, which serves to drain excess fluid accumulated in the pleural cavity and therefore alleviate breathing difficulties. Faced with these advances, physicians need to acquire advanced skills to effectively handle the most sophisticated techniques.

In this context, TECH implements a revolutionary program in Palliative Care in Oncology Patients.  The syllabus will provide specialists with the most innovative procedures aimed at optimizing the well-being of terminally ill individuals (among which Paracentesis, Peritoneal Catheters or Endovenous Pumps).  This will allow graduates to effectively alleviate symptoms such as Dyspnea. Likewise, the syllabus will delve into the anatomy of pain and the most appropriate pharmacological treatments according to the specific needs of the users. In this way, graduates will acquire advanced skills to address a wide range of symptomatology and contribute to optimize the clinical condition of individuals.

To consolidate all these contents, TECH uses the innovative methodology of Relearning.  This is based on constant feedback and adaptation to the individual needs of the students based on targeted repetition. With any electronic device with Internet access, specialists will be able to access the Virtual Campus and obtain the most complete didactic content on the educational market. In addition, this program includes comprehensive Masterclasses, taught by a renowned International Guest Director with an extensive experience in Palliative Care.
