Thanks to this professional master’s degree you will obtain in only 12 months the most advanced update in diagnostic and therapeutic procedures in Oncological Ophthalmology"

In recent years, there has been notable progress in the performance of specific diagnostic tests that allow the ophthalmologist to perform an in-depth study of the anatomical and functional status. In addition, thanks to new pharmacological, physical or surgical therapies, treatments have been improved with a hopeful prognosis for the patient.

In this scenario, the professionals who wishes to be updated in the advances in this field will be able to do it through this university program designed by TECH. A program that will take the specialist to a complete update of their knowledge in Oncological Ophthalmology over 12 months.

It is an intensive program that delves from the first moment in Ocular  Oncology, the most important radiological characteristics of intraocular and orbital tumor pathology, the main tumors of the eyeball and orbit, with special emphasis on the two most relevant malignant neoplasms of the eye: Uveal Melanoma and Retinoblastoma. In addition, this program goes a step further and offers the graduates a module oriented to the approach of the patient from the psychiatric and psychological aspect, which completes an already exhaustive syllabus in Ocular Tumors.

To achieve this goal of updating, students have access to video summaries of each topic, specialized readings or scenarios of simulated case studies that can be accessed comfortably from a digital device at any time of the day. Likewise, the Relearning system, based on the reiteration of content, will lead the professionals to progress naturally through the main concepts of this program and thus reduce the long hours of study.

A professional master’s degree that provides the flexibility that the ophthalmologists require to make their daily work and personal activities compatible with a quality program, developed by an excellent team of specialists with a high level of competence in this field.
