Master's Degree in Hyperbaric Medicine
The medical application of oxygen therapy for patients admitted with infectious, rheumatic, oncological, toxicological, and neurological conditions, as well as those with wounds and various types of pain, requires a solid set of competencies in the theoretical and practical management of the pressurized chamber. Recognizing that at TECH Global University one of our primary goals is to support the specialization processes of professionals, we have created this master’s program focused on strengthening these essential skills. Specifically, through the curriculum, students will cover the fundamentals of Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT), its therapeutic physiological effects, its use in complications or diseases, and its respective indications and contraindications based on the patient's condition. This journey will allow students to update the conceptualization of this treatment in terms of mean pressure, micro-pressure, and hyperbaria in various cases, with a continuous focus on hyperoxia. Upon completion of the program, future experts in this field will be equipped to integrate this specialty into their daily clinical practice, offering undeniable health benefits despite the fact that it is still an underexplored area.
Postgraduate Degree in Hyperbaric Medicine
Enrolling in this postgraduate program at TECH offers an important opportunity to refine knowledge in each stage of this blood oxygenation procedure. The carefully designed curriculum, developed by our teaching team, provides essential tools for its proper administration in medical cases of various origins (neuropathic, musculoskeletal, oncological, and visceral), where it is possible to reduce pain perception and even lower mortality and morbidity rates. Furthermore, it offers key elements for defining, evaluating, and determining diagnostic approaches and, consequently, therapeutic and prescriptive strategies, with a focus on preventing potential adverse effects. Graduates of this Master's Degree in Hyperbaric Medicine will be able to identify and resolve clinical rehabilitation cases through mitochondrial reactivation. In the more advanced stages, they will actively participate in expanding this specialty both in public and private healthcare sectors, aiming to significantly improve the quality of life of patients.
