With this Hybrid professional master’s degree you will be up-to-date with the most effective diagnostic processes in Infectious Diseases in the Emergency Department”

The pandemic caused by Sars-CoV-2 has highlighted to the population the relevance of the role of healthcare professionals, especially those who have the first contact with the patient in the Emergency Department. In addition to making visible the risk posed by infectious diseases. Specifically, those with a high contagious capacity.

A new scenario that requires an update of their skills to establish more accurate diagnoses and appropriate treatments according to the clinical characteristics of the patient. For this reason, TECH has created a Hybrid professional master’s degree that delves into the main diagnostic and therapeutic developments of infectious diseases, through an advanced syllabus and a 3-week internship in a reference hospital center.

In this way, the professional will be able to update on the approach to the patient with febrile symptoms in the Emergency Department, the pediatric patient in this department, epidemiology, as well as the different existing bacterial, viral, fungal, mycobacterial and parasitic infections. All this, with multimedia teaching material that can be accessed at any time of the day, from an electronic device with an Internet connection.

In addition, in its aim to offer the specialist the most direct and real update possible, this institution offers the possibility of being able to perform an internship in a relevant health space, where throughout 120 hours the professional will be guided by a real expert in the management of infectious diseases.

Therefore, TECH has designed a Hybrid professional master’s degree for and by professionals who wish to obtain an update, without neglecting other areas of their lives and at the same time enter a first-class clinical environment, surrounded by the best experts in Infectious Diseases in the Emergency Department.
