Get up to date with the most relevant advances in allergen-specific immunotherapy (AIT), which have allowed the development of pioneering treatments adapted to the needs of each patient"

Advances in molecular diagnostics in pediatrics are particularly promising, as in recent years they have made it possible to fine-tune the patient's sensitization profile to the millimeter. This inevitably leads to a favorable framework for action, with a more personalized allergen-specific immunotherapy (AIT) adapted to the allergic conditions of each patient. The role of the specialists in the whole process of diagnosis and recommendation of the avoidance diet is crucial, so their level of updating must be high and constant.

A deeper knowledge of immune development in children allows us to understand the evolution of certain pathologies in childhood in later years. A team of teachers specialized in Pediatric Allergology has developed a complete syllabus that compiles not only the advances and developments in this field, but also its impact on clinical practice. In this way, the specialist obtains a necessary pragmatic vision from professionals widely versed in the field of allergies and immunology, thereby perfecting their own work methodologies and approach to each subject treated.

Throughout the program, the most frequent consultations in the Pediatric Allergology area as well as the rare pathologies that usually occur in childhood will be discussed. The specialist will cover, through high quality multimedia content, cutaneous allergic manifestations, food allergens, asthmatic pathologies in children and infants, frequent atopic dermatitis and other essential topics for a comprehensive and exhaustive update in a far-reaching clinical field.

All this, in addition, with the advantage of having the characteristic flexibility of a 100% online format. TECH is aware of how complicated it can be to combine a program of these characteristics with the most demanding medical activity, so it has eliminated both classroom classes and fixed schedules. It is the specialists themselves who decide how to distribute all the teaching content, being able to download it and study it from any device with an internet connection.
