Through this innovative program, you will get up to date on the use of artificial pancreases and insulin pumps to prevent crises in diabetic patients”

Diabetes is one of the main causes of severe conditions such as blindness, kidney failure, myocardial infarction, stroke and lower limb amputation. At the same time, the rates of its progression and incidence on a global scale are truly alarming. The biological sciences, and in particular medicine, are constantly analyzing all the implications of this severe disease. As a result, each year a large volume of academic information is generated, establishing increasingly up-to-date protocols for diagnosis, therapy and follow-up. Keeping up to date with all these contributions is a major challenge for health professionals. Another important challenge lies in mastering all this knowledge both from a theoretical and practical point of view.

Aware of this need, TECH has implemented this Hybrid professional master’s degree in Diabetes where the specialist will find multiple learning modalities. For this purpose, it has two distinct educational phases. The first one frames the didactic study of the main novelties regarding this medical phenomenon. Therefore, the degree describes different care trends, the pathogenesis of the disease, the impact of new information technologies for its monitoring, among other aspects. This teaching process will take place 100% online, without preset schedules or timetables, which will enable the physician to quickly and flexibly master all the contents.

The program then consists of an on-site and intensive 3-week internship at a prestigious hospital center. During this immersive internship, students will be able to apply what they have learned directly to real cases that require the most modern medical care to contain the impact of their diabetes. At the same time, throughout this phase, a team of leading experts will guide the assimilation of practical skills and an associate tutor will assign complex tasks to complement what has been learned. 

This Hybrid professional master’s degree, with two distinct phases, unifies, like no other program, the theoretical and practical knowledge essential for the care of diabetic patients"

This Hybrid professional master’s degree in Diabetes contains the most complete and up-to-date scientific program on the market. The most important features include:

• Development of more than 100 clinical cases presented by expertise and university professors Cone extensive experience in the Diabetes Management
• Assessment and monitoring of the diabetic patient, the latest international recommendations for personalized care, pharmacological treatment, among other aspects
• Presentation of practical workshops on procedures, diagnosis, and treatment techniques in Diabetes patients
• An algorithm-based interactive learning system for decision-making in the clinical situations presented throughout the course
• All this will be complemented by 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
• Furthermore, you will be able to carry out a clinical internship in one of the best hospital centers

In this educational program, you will have access to infographics, videos and other multimedia resources that will complement those aspects most relevant to Diabetes and necessary for your professional career”

This Hybrid professional master’s degree program is aimed at updating medical professionals who develop their healthcare activity around diabetic patients. The contents are based on the latest scientific evidence, and oriented in a didactic way to integrate theoretical knowledge in daily medical practice and promote better decision making in the approach to patients.

Thanks to the multimedia content, developed with the latest educational technology,medical professionals will benefit from situated and contextual learning, i.e., a simulated environment that will provide immersive learning programmed to train 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 students will be assisted by an innovative interactive video system created by renowned and experienced experts.

Enroll in this program and update your knowledge through an innovative and pioneering mode of study in the current educational panorama"

Boost your career path with holistic teaching, allowing you to advance both theoretically and practically"

The structure and content of this Hybrid professional master’s degree have been designed taking into account the main novelties regarding the clinical care of Diabetes. Its syllabus includes a tour of the main diagnostic protocols, pharmacological therapy and nutritional counseling required by those affected by this disease. At the same time, the study materials are not presented exclusively in a theoretical way, since the physician will be able to access them through videos, infographics and other interactive resources of great didactic value.
