Professional Master's Degree in Genomic and Precision Medicine in Hematology: Thrombosis
It is not often addressed or sufficiently deepened within conventional academic programs in medicine, but genetics and hematic components play a key role in certain pathologies. One of them, for example, is DVT or Deep Vein Thrombosis, which if not properly treated can even lead to more severe conditions such as pulmonary embolism. In fact, a considerable number of deaths due to illnesses correspond to a DVT condition that was not treated in time. As there is always a need for medical personnel specialized in specific treatments, TECH Global University announces its Master's Degree in Genomic and Precision Medicine in Hematology: Thrombosis, a program that exposes everything related to the pathophysiology and epidemiology of DVT (including oncology and women), but is not limited exclusively to it, but also encompasses related topics such as global genome studies (GWAS), massive sequencing, gene expression (RNA and mRNA) and predictive models, deepening their relationships with the main object of study. Nowhere else will you find such a complete and specialized offer, with the ease of online educational dynamics.
Become a specialist in thrombosis
1 in 4 deaths worldwide is directly or indirectly related to thrombosis. In countries such as the United States, between 100,000 and 300,000 people die annually from Venous Thromboembolic Disease. And it is not just a question of mortality; the costs involved in hospitalization, drugs and the after-effects of this disease are considerable, reaching, according to the website of the Spanish occupational accident and occupational disease organization Asepeyo, 15.5 million dollars in the United States, 650 million euros in the United Kingdom and 75.5 million euros in Spain. It is evident, therefore, a priority of trained personnel to handle such incidents. By accessing our program, you will find the most essential theoretical and practical resources to acquire the skills that will allow you to perform skillfully. The Relearning teaching methodology on which our platform is based, is a leader in global academic environment, so you will be rewarding, effective and motivating throughout the training process. Do you want to give your profile that curricular value that stands out in the health sector? At TECH we show you that it is possible.
