Description

Specialist knowledge of prevention in HPV, an area of growing importance in the specialist's practice, developed in a highly specialized expert course" 

##IMAGE##

During this comprehensive postgraduate diploma, the student will have the opportunity to acquire the necessary basic knowledge to face situations that arise in patients suspected of having contracted HPV. From the moment of diagnosis and the development of the guidelines that the specialist must follow, to the information on procedures or attitudes to eradicate in this medical practice, the student will learn to integrate new techniques and the most advanced procedures in this discipline into their work. 

What distinguishes this postgraduate diploma from others is its eminent practical vision. This approach has been implemented in all the teaching materials that the student will use during their training. Our goal: to enable you to start applying what you have learned immediately in your work. 

This postgraduate diploma may be the best investment you can make when choosing a refresher program for two reasons: in addition to updating your knowledge in the Human Papillomavirus and Primary Prevention, you will obtain a qualification from TECH"

This postgraduate diploma in HPV and Primary Prevention offers you the characteristics of a high-level scientific, teaching, and technological course. These are some of its most notable features:

  • Latest technology in online teaching software
  • Highly visual teaching system, supported by graphic and schematic contents that are easy to assimilate and understand
  • Practical cases presented by practising experts
  • State-of-the-art interactive video systems
  • Teaching supported by telepractice
  • Continuous updating and recycling systems
  • Self-regulating learning: full compatibility with other occupations
  • Practical exercises for self-evaluation and learning verification
  • Support groups and educational synergies: questions to the expert, debate and knowledge forums
  • Communication with the teacher and individual reflection work
  • Content that is accessible from any fixed or portable device with an Internet connection
  • Supplementary documentation databases are permanently available, even after the course

The most outstanding aspect of our educational formula is the possibility of hands-on learning, even while learning remotely: a challenge that we have achieved and that provides our students with the best results" 

Our teaching staff is composed of medical professionals and practising specialists. In this way, we ensure that we provide you with the most innovative training we are aiming for. A multidisciplinary team of professors with training and experience in different environments, who will develop the theoretical knowledge in an efficient way, but, above all, will bring their practical knowledge derived from their own experience to the course: one of the differential qualities of this postgraduate diploma.

This mastery of the subject is complemented by the effectiveness of the methodological design of this postgraduate diploma. Developed by a multidisciplinary team of e-learning experts, it integrates the latest advances in educational technology. In this way, you will be able to study with a range of easy-to-use and versatile multimedia tools that will give you the necessary skills you need for your specialization. 

The design of this program is based on Problem-Based Learning: an approach that conceives learning as a highly practical process. To achieve this remotely, we will use telepractice:  With the help of an innovative interactive video system, and learning from an expert, you will be able to acquire the knowledge as if you were actually dealing with the scenario you are learning about. A concept that will allow you to integrate and fix learning in a more realistic and permanent way.

Postgraduate Diploma in HPV and Primary Prevention

Every year around 490,000 cases of cervical cancer occur worldwide, 270,000 of which result in death. This oncological pathology develops due to lesions in the cervix that can be caused by infection with Human Papilloma Virus (HPV), one of the most common sexually transmitted diseases (STD) and of which there are about 100 viral types: several of which have a high mortality rate due to their carcinogenic nature. Fortunately, a correct preventive plan and early treatment greatly minimize its lethality. Here at TECH Global University we have developed the Postgraduate Certificate in HPV and Primary Prevention as a means to achieve this goal. Our online model is designed to provide medical personnel with all the necessary knowledge in an easy, dynamic and effective way at the level of competencies, bringing together the ideal expertise to address the disease and provide reliable support to patients who suffer from it, mainly women.

Specialize in HPV prevention and treatment

The papillomavirus is more common than you might think. Studies indicate that 80% of women have suffered an infection by one of the multiple existing types of this pathology. It should be clarified that these represent mostly benign cases in which the risk of morbidity is low, with total disappearance of the infectious symptomatology after 1 to 2 years. This, of course, does not imply that HPV should be taken lightly, on the contrary, an accurate preventive diagnosis and a detailed study of the cases can be the differential factor between a mild condition and a neoplasm. Our program will educate you on all facets of HPV: from its characteristics, epidemiology, pathogenesis and immune response to everything related to cervical cancer vaccines. We have a multidisciplinary team of professors who have the most notable experience in the medical-clinical areas so you will have access to real cases and practical considerations in the working world. Because we know that STDs are a reality that affects millions of lives, at TECH we encourage you to be an agent of change.
