The last few decades have been pivotal for nursing professionals. Gradually, they have had to take on new challenges and procedures within the nursing practice. Particularly in the field of Critical Care and Emergency Care, updated work protocols have been implemented for these professionals. Additionally, ultrasound technologies have evolved and with them the management that the nurse must know to make an efficient use of them. However, it is difficult to keep up to date with all these innovations in a pedagogical context where qualifications do not cover the development of specific competencies and skills within this framework.

In this context, TECH has devised a learning modality that integrates the teaching of modern aspects of this area of Nursing in two distinct stages. In the first stage, the student will dedicate 1,500 hours to theoretical learning of concepts and work protocols of recent application. In particular, they will examine disinfection methodologies, care for major syndromes and the use of the most modern technologies. The approach to all these aspects, this educational moment is supported by methods of great didactic value, such as Relearning. Likewise, the student will not have to worry about pre-established schedules or evaluation chronograms.  

In turn, in the second stage, this Hybrid professional master’s degree proposes a practical and face-to-face internship. During 3 weeks, the nurse will apply the most recent protocols in the assistance of physicians and real patients. They will also have the opportunity to use state-of-the-art technological resources for each of these interventions. During this period, the student will work under the supervision of an assistant tutor. This academic figure will be in charge of inserting dynamic tasks that will complement the skills acquired. At the same time, they will discuss methods and strategies of care with experts with extensive experience. Therefore, after 1,620 hours of theoretical and practical study, they will be able to incorporate the most effective and recent trends into their daily professional practice.  

During the theoretical phase of this program, the main advances in the care of critically ill pediatric patients that are relevant to the nursing professional will be discussed"

This Hybrid professional master’s degree in Clinical Ultrasound in Emergencies and Intensive Care for Nursing contains the most complete and updated scientific program on the market. It’s most outstanding features are:

  • Development of more than 100 clinical cases presented by nursing professionals with expertise in Clinical Ultrasound in Emergency and Critical Care
  • The graphic, schematic, and practical contents with which they are created, provide scientific and practical information on the disciplines that are essential for professional practice
  • Presentation of practical workshops on clinical ultrasound techniques.
  • Algorithm-based interactive learning system for decision making in and intensive care subject
  • Practical clinical guides on approaching different pathologies
  • All of 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 medical centers

Attend a 3-week intensive internship in a prestigious center and acquire an advanced management of the best ultrasound technologies that are essential for the modern practice of nursing"

In this proposed Professional Master’s Degree, of professionalizing character and hybrid learning modality, the program is aimed at updating nursing professionals who require a high level of qualification. The content is based on the latest scientific evidence and is organized in a didactic way to integrate theoretical knowledge into nursing practice. The theoretical-practical elements allow professionals to update their knowledge and help them to make the right decisions in patient care.

Thanks to its multimedia content elaborated with the latest educational technology, it will allow the nursing professional to obtain a situated and contextual learning, that is to say, a simulated environment that will provide an 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 student will be assisted by an innovative interactive video system created by renowned experts.

This Hybrid professional master’s degree allows you to practice in simulated environments, which provide immersive learning within a hospital facility of the highest prestige in the field of Nursing"

Teaching Planning

The syllabus of this Hybrid professional master’s degree is composed of a total of 10 didactic modules.  Through them, the nurse will learn the most updated criteria on ultrasound-guided intervention procedures for the insertion of drains, probes and punctures. At the same time, it examines the ultrasound approaches to major syndromes such as shock, sepsis, stroke, trauma, among others. Additionally, this syllabus is distinguished from others by its emphasis on pediatric critical care nursing techniques. At the same time, all these contents will be available on a 100% online and interactive platform, without predefined schedules or evaluation chronograms.
