This course is designed for professionals to enhance their knowledge about Refraction, Amblyopia and Congenital Cataract"

Over the years the treatments have evolved, due to the important research of specialists in the sector, even so, with the difficulties that it has. That is why, thanks to multiple studies, the prevention of these pathologies is more effective and they are able to give a quicker and more efficient solution to these ocular problems that hinder the development of the child. Therefore, today this is an area of knowledge that requires constant evolution and that finds more and more methods and techniques for the visual rehabilitation of the child.

It is relevant to mention that Pediatric Ophthalmology is a discipline that has advanced professionally due to its boom in recent years, generating all kinds of research. And although it maintains its technical bases, some of them have been perfected thanks to studies designed from the ocular area in early ages. On the other hand, keeping updated in this field is complex, due to the technological acceleration in the sector. That is why TECH has designed this postgraduate certificate designed for the professional to enhance their knowledge and skills in this area of medicine.

This university program integrates a complete and exclusive syllabus where the graduate will deepen knowledge related to visual function in pediatric patients with amblyopia, in addition to strengthening skills related to retinopathy of prematurity, retinoblastoma, hereditary retinal disorders and retinal vascular anomalies. In this sense, it comprehensively covers the most relevant pathologies involving the retina. Therefore, this postgraduate certificate uses innovative tools in education, supported by a specialized teaching team.

TECH provides students with the best quality online education, giving them the possibility of taking virtual classes at any time of the day with the benefit of flexible scheduling. You only need an electronic device with Internet connection, avoiding the unnecessary transfer to a study center in person. In addition to applying the Relearning method for a greater dynamism allowing you to successfully develop the program.

TECH provides you with multimedia content to support you in achieving your goals of updating your knowledge in Pediatric Ophthalmology, providing you with dynamism and convenience with online methodology"

This postgraduate certificate in Refraction, Amblyopia and Congenital Cataract contains the most complete and up-to-date scientific program on the market. The most important features include:

• Practical case studies presented by experts in Pediatric Ophthalmology
• The graphic, schematic and eminently practical contents of the book provide scientific and practical information on those disciplines that are essential for professional practice
• Practical exercises where the self-assessment process can be carried out to improve learning
• Its special emphasis on innovative methodologies
• 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

The professional will learn about ocular pathologies and strengthen their knowledge in causes of leukocoria in childhood"

The program’s teaching staff includes professionals from the field who contribute their work experience to this educational program, as well as renowned specialists from leading societies and prestigious universities. 

The multimedia content, developed with the latest educational technology, will provide the professional with situated and contextual learning, i.e., a simulated environment that will provide immersive education programmed to learn 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 during the academic year For this purpose, the students will be assisted by an innovative interactive video system created by renowned and experienced experts.  

This qualification covers the fundamentals of optics and refraction using innovative tools in education"

TECH applies the Relearning method allowing to consolidate the concepts in a simple way to successfully develop the postgraduate certificate"

This postgraduate certificate has been designed with the purpose of providing the graduate with prestigious and innovative content on new technologies and advances in pediatric refractive correction in the area of Ophthalmology. Likewise, TECH, being at the forefront of online academics, offers such content through multiple technological teaching materials. Therefore, at the end of this updating process, the ophthalmologist will have reinforced his or her skills regarding convergence excess and its impact on vision. 

This postgraduate certificate has been elaborated with the purpose of offering the specialist to offer the specialist exclusive and updated material and updated material in the area of Pediatric Ophthalmology"
