It incorporates the knowledge required to be able to work on clinical and reproductive intervention in the prevention and management of genetic disorders of the senses"

Acquire the ability to work with the most advanced genetic tools, and take a step ahead of the needs that the labor market will increasingly demand from medical professionals"

This module will detail the fundamentals and molecular mechanisms that help to understand the genetic basis of diagnosing endocrine diseases. Detailed descriptions of all currently known genetic defects in endocrinology will be presented. This is a very heterogeneous and difficult to diagnose group of diseases.  In addition to updating concepts, we will present the different algorithms used for managing, at the clinical genetics level, this group of diseases. A detailed description will be given of the different complementary tests required to perform an effective differential diagnosis and subsequent use of the appropriate genetic diagnostic techniques. Practical cases and exercises of different pathologies included in this category will be presented.

A specialty of notable interest for the medical professional that you will be able to acquire in an efficient way through this course"

A training program that masterfully combines intensity and flexibility, making its objectives easily and comfortably achievable for the professional"

This program has been developed by professionals from different clinical genetics clinics in which they contribute their experience in daily practice, in the care of patients and families with a variety of hereditary disorders, both in genetic counseling and in prevention programs and prenatal and preconception counseling. The faculty involved in the course also carries out important research work in the field of Genetics.  

The course addresses, in its different modules, the basic and necessary knowledge for the management of patients and their diseases in a clinical genetics practice. It offers a practical approach to the different techniques most commonly used for the diagnosis of hereditary diseases, as well as the interpretation of their results. It offers an approach to the diseases that cause the highest number of consultations in daily practice in a Clinical Genetics service. 

The course contains theoretical text about the subject matter, and practical examples taken from clinical cases that will facilitate understanding and the acquisition of in-depth knowledge. 

The basic and fundamental knowledge required for managing patients and their diseases in a clinical genetics setting"

Basic knowledge for the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of hereditary endocrine diseases, most of them little known"

Currently not all hospitals have genetics units and it is foreseeable that all healthcare centers will have genetics units in the coming years. Students in this program will deepen the knowledge required to work as clinical geneticists both in the field of diagnosis and counseling in these units or to be part of multidisciplinary groups of medical services, where patients with hereditary diseases are treated. 

This intensive course will allow you to learn about the genetic causes of diseases affecting the senses and the different inheritance patterns that occur"
