Update with the latest news in the management of complications such as fetal macrosomia, genitourinary malformations and trophoblastic disease"

The demand on obstetric professionals is increasing, since the advances produced in the area of image acquisition and interpretation are clearly noticeable. These developments allow an early detection of many pathologies, being able to classify them even in the different periods of pregnancy, which affects the need for a much more improved and updated action by the specialist.

Being the second trimester one of the most complex at the level of analysis and interpretation of results, the possible complications arising both at the beginning and at the end of gestation should not be ignored. Hence the importance of obtaining a complete and comprehensive update in this area, which is why TECH has created the present program.

In this Postgraduate diploma, the specialists will review the ultrasound techniques, test analysis and main complications that can arise throughout the pregnancy. From the protocols of action before pregnancies of uncertain location to spinal malformations or alterations of the amniotic fluid, the graduate will have a rigorous and current vision of the obstetric ultrasound of the 1st, 2nd and 3rd trimester of pregnancy.

The format of the program is also 100% online, which implies that neither face-to-face classes nor pre-set schedules should be followed. It is the students who have total freedom to assume the teaching load according to their own pace, adapting it to their needs at all times. To do this, all content available on the Virtual Campus Can be downloaded from any device with an Internet connection.
