The world's largest faculty of medicine”
Why study at TECH?
With this 100% online Postgraduate diploma you will obtain the most relevant and recent information on Complex Foot Deformities and Corrections"
Medical professionals are increasingly noticing how the type of footwear used, especially in the West, influences the appearance of pathologies, which sometimes require surgical intervention due to their severity or their effect on the patient's health and well-being. The increase in consultations for radial foot or midfoot deformity problems has helped to improve the technique through scientific evidence and the daily management of patients with such complications.
In this scenario, technology has greatly favored both diagnosis and the instruments and equipment used in surgical interventions. The specialist cannot remain oblivious to these new developments, and is obliged to constantly update their knowledge. For this reason, TECH has created this Postgraduate diploma in Complex Foot Deformities and Corrections, where it offers the latest information in this subspecialty, through a specialized teaching team and reference in this field.
The professional is faced with a university program taught exclusively online, whose content is characterized by innovation and dynamism. In this way, through video summaries, detailed videos, case studies and essential readings they will be able to delve into the Hallux Valgus deformity or bunion, the problem of Hallux Rigidus or arthropathy of the first metatarsophalangeal joint, the deformity of Hallux Varus and the problems of the sesamoid system or sesamoid complex.
In addition, with the Relearning method, based on content reiteration, they will be able to more effectively cement the concepts that address the specific pathology affecting the triphalangeal toes, metatarsalgia and triphalangeal toe problems, which are among the most common problems in foot and ankle pathology. The type of footwear and lifestyle of Western society are an important cause of this problem and less frequent pathologies such as Müller Weiss, with which the tennis laureate Rafael Nadal was diagnosed.
The professionals have before them a flexible Postgraduate diploma that can be taken comfortably, whenever and wherever they wish. It only requires an electronic device with internet connection to access the content hosted on the virtual campus. It also offers the possibility of being able to distribute the teaching load according to their needs. Undoubtedly, an ideal educational option for specialists who wish to balance their most demanding responsibilities with a quality university qualification.
