Thanks to this Professional master’s degree you will be able to update your knowledge in Pediatric Orthopedics and the main pathologies affecting children and adolescents" 

Pediatric Orthopedics has experienced a great boost in recent years due to the application of new technologies that have allowed interventions to take place through surgeries navigated with mixed reality, improved implants and osteosynthesis materials. All this favors the recovery of the patient, who continues a rehabilitation process, where the role of the physiotherapist is key.

At the same time, the diagnostic and assessment skills of the physiotherapist continue to be of great importance, and they must also be aware of the latest advances in this field in order to treat dysplasias, syndromic diseases or fractures in infancy. For this reason, TECH has assembled a specialized teaching team with extensive experience in the field of Pediatric Orthopedics , to offer the most up-to-date knowledge to physiotherapists.

Therefore, over a 12-month period, students will be able to acquire in-depth knowledge, through innovative multimedia material, of the main pathologies of the foot, upper limb, spine and knee. In addition, the professional will delve into highly complex situations such as musculoskeletal tumors or osteoarticular infections. This refresher program, which also includes case study simulations, will bring professionals closer to situations that can be integrated into their daily clinical practice.

The physiotherapist is presented with an excellent opportunity to be up to date in Pediatric Orthopedics through a quality university program that they can access comfortably, whenever and wherever they wish. All students need is a computer, tablet or cell phone with an Internet connection to be able to view the syllabus. In addition, the syllabus can be distributed according to their needs. As such, professionals are offered online education that is flexible and compatible with their professional and/or personal responsibilities.

A 100% online academic program that brings you closer to the latest scientific information in the treatment of patients with fractures and ligament injuries"

This Professional master’s degree in Pediatric Orthopedics contains the most complete and up-to-date scientific program on the market. Its most notable features are:
