Keeping up to date in the procedures of loco-regional anesthesia and pain management is key to provide better patient care"

New scenarios in anesthesia procedures motivate us to propose new training programs that fit the real needs of experienced professionals, so that they can incorporate advances in local and regional anesthesia, and pain management, into their medical practice”

The need for a differentiated update on obstetric-gynecological anesthesia lies in the fact that the binomial maternal-fetus imposes special conditions that are unique in our environment, to the extent that any therapeutic action has a greater dimension than that of the subject itself. It is therefore necessary to know, supported by solid science, the pathophysiological foundations of maternal-fetal interaction, so that our therapeutic procedures are performed with maximum safety for all.

This program also includes several updated chapters on gynecologic-oncologic anesthesiology, which provide a modern and updated view of the profound therapeutic changes experienced in this field, and the new anesthetic needs to address these new realities.

In a parallel but highly relevant way, the program addresses in depth the consideration of pediatric patients. These patients are their own entity and, on many occasions, present base pathology that differs both in its etiology (congenital diseases) and clinical manifestations, as well as in the way in which they are tolerated, and the criteria established by inexperienced personnel may confuse the degree of severity. 

Along with this postgraduate diploma's specific scientific considerations, the program also includes psychological and affective factors associated with child illnesses. The experience of their pathological process, hospitalization and separation from their parents can transform an irrelevant process into a terrible nightmare with important psychological consequences.

You will be able to learn, through the latest educational technology, the most recent advances in Pediatric and Obstetric-Gynecologic Anesthesiology”

This postgraduate diploma in Pediatric and Obstetric-Gynecologic Anesthesiology is the most complete and up-to-date scientific program on the market. The most important features of the program include:

• Clinical cases presented by specialists in anesthesiology and other areas. The graphic, schematic, and eminently practical contents with which they are created provide scientific and practical information on the disciplines that are essential for professional practice
• Real high-resolution images of pathologies, diagnostic imaging tests and guided procedures
• Presentation of practical workshops on procedures and techniques
• Algorithm-based interactive learning system for decision-making in the presented clinical situations
• Action protocols with the most important advances in the specialty
• All this will be complemented by theoretical lessons, questions to the expert, debate forums on controversial topics, and individual reflection assignments
• With a special emphasis on evidence-based medicine and research methodologies in anesthesiology
• Content that is accessible from any fixed or portable device with an Internet connection

This postgraduate diploma may be the best investment you can make when choosing a refresher program for two reasons: in addition to updating your knowledge of Pediatric and Obstetric-Gynecologic Anesthesiology, you will obtain a qualification from TECH Global University”

The teaching staff is made up of a team of leading anesthesiologists, who bring to this training the experience of their work, in addition to recognized specialists in other medical areas.

The multimedia content developed with the latest educational technology will provide the physician with situated and contextual learning, i.e., a simulated environment that will provide immersive training programmed to train in real situations.

This program is designed around Problem Based Learning, whereby the student must try to solve the different professional practice situations that arise during the course. For this reason, you will be assisted by an innovative, interactive video system created by renowned and experienced experts in the field of pediatric and gynecologic anesthesiology with extensive teaching experience.

Incorporate the latest developments in Pediatric and Obstetric-Gynecologic Anesthesiology to your medical practice and improve patient prognosis"

It includes real clinical cases to bring medical practice as close as possible to the development of the program"

The main objective is to facilitate the incorporation of the advances that are being made in loco-regional anesthesia and pain therapy procedures, ensuring that  specialists can update their knowledge in a practical way, with the latest educational technology and adapting the educational process to their real needs.

This refresher program will generate a sense of confidence in decision making during anesthesia procedures for pediatric and obstetric-gynecologic patients, and will help you grow professionally”
