Hepatology is a specialty that has great relevance in medicine, whose latest advances in diagnostic methods require professionals specialized in this medical branch and that can be you” 

The development of diagnostic and therapeutic techniques for liver pathologies has turned hepatology into a field of specific knowledge or training (FSK) that is currently in high demand by medical professionals. Hepatology has undergone major changes in recent years. In terms of diagnosis, we have seen the introduction of Ultrasound, Computerized Axial Tomography, Nuclear Magnetic Resonance or FibroScan, among others.

Thus, hepatology has become a specific field of medical praxis, which sometimes exceeds the objectives of digestive system specialists' training period and implies the need for training and, as a result, the existence of trained professionals focused on this specific organ. Therefore, it is essential that the specialist can respond adequately to the evolution of these events through an adequate update of their knowledge and the incorporation of these methodological advances in their daily medical practice, which is why TECH has developed this comprehensive program in response to a highly demanded specialty.

In addition, it is a 100% online postgraduate certificate that provides the student with the ease of being able to study it comfortably, wherever and whenever he/she wants. All you need is a device with internet access to take your career one step further. A modality in line with the current times with all the guarantees to position the medical professional in a highly demanded field.
