Introduction to the Program

Specialize! The development of diagnostic and therapeutic techniques for liver pathologies has turned hepatology into an area of knowledge or specific education that is highly demanded by medical professionals today"

Hepatology has experienced great changes in recent years. There have been important developments in the last 35-40 years, in both diagnostic and treatment techniques. In terms of diagnosis, we have seen the introduction of Ultrasound, Computerized Axial Tomography, Nuclear Magnetic Resonance, FibroScan, etc.

With regard to treatment, we have gone from patiently observing the evolution of liver disease without being able to offer patients anything, to now being able to prescribe effective treatments such as new antivirals for hepatitis B and C, immunosuppressants for autoimmune diseases or liver transplantation for end-stage liver disease.

All this has meant that Hepatology today constitutes a specific area of knowledge, which sometimes exceeds the objectives of the digestive system specialists' education period, thereby implying the need for professional development and the existence of skilled professionals.

It is essential that specialists can respond adequately to the evolution of these events, through an adequate update of their knowledge and the incorporation of these advances in their daily medical practice, which is why TECH has developed this comprehensive program in response to an in-demand specialty.

One of the advantages of TECH lies in its online, but especially in its learning methodology known as relearning and in its constant updating of information. In the case of hepatology, this specialty of medicine has undergone major changes and developments in the last 35 years, so our Master's Degree has adapted to this gradual evolution. This is why the structure of the contents is mainly focused on the knowledge of new antiviral treatments, recently discovered immunosuppressants or end-stage liver transplants. However, it is also studied the diagnosis through ultrasound, computed axial tomography, nuclear magnetic resonance or FibroScan, among other methods.
