A program, 100% online, with which you will enhance your skills for the identification of unknown individuals and perform exhaustive image analysis”

In the forensic field, Biomechanics and Mechanical Forces applied to Bone Trauma are of great importance in Human Identification processes. The analysis that physicians perform on these factors provides essential information for the reconstruction of traumatic events, ranging from falls to car accidents or physical aggressions. In turn, by understanding how bone injuries occur under different forces, specialists can differentiate between injuries that occurred before death and those that occurred after death. This is helpful in determining the sequence of events, as well as in clarifying the cause of death.  

For this reason, TECH implements a complete program in Forensic Radiology in Human Identification. The academic itinerary will focus on the human skeleton and biological identification, providing graduates with innovative techniques to determine aspects such as age, height or muscular complexion of the deceased. In addition, the academic materials will delve deeper into other issues such as osteological development, bone adaptation to exercise or traumas by type of injury. Throughout the program, experts will develop advanced skills to interpret radiographic images and identify anatomical features, pathologies and traumatic injuries. All this will allow them to clarify the identities of individuals and to collaborate interdisciplinarily in the resolution of complex forensic cases.  

As for the methodology of this program, it is important to note that it reinforces its innovative character. TECH provides specialists with a 100% online educational environment, therefore adapting to the needs of busy professionals who want to advance their careers. Likewise, it employs the Relearning teaching system, based on the repetition of key concepts to fix knowledge and facilitate learning. In this way, the combination of flexibility and a robust pedagogical approach makes it elevating accessible.
