The new scenarios in intensive care medicine push us to propose new training programs that meet the real needs of experienced professionals, so that they can incorporate advances in clinical practice in Esophagogastric and Bariatric Surgery”

Obesity is currently considered a major public health problem in developed countries as a result of its increased prevalence and the associated increased risk of morbidity and mortality. Bariatric surgery is an effective therapeutic alternative in patients with morbid obesity refractory to medical treatment, not free of complications, and can be considered the treatment of choice for carefully selected morbidly obese patients.

On the other hand, new esophagogastric surgical techniques focus on the treatment of diaphragmatic and hiatal hernias, esophageal motor disorders such as achalasia, esophageal diverticula or the approach to benign and malignant esophagogastric tumors. The advances that are being made in each of them imply a constant need for recycling for the specialist, but the speed at which changes occur and the amount of scientific documentation that is published every week make it almost impossible for the specialist to reconcile their updating with their daily clinical and surgical practice.

The purpose of this postgraduate diploma in Esophagogastric and Bariatric Surgery and the team of experts who have developed it, is to provide this update in a practical way, the latest bariatric and esophagogastric surgical techniques, through the latest educational technology in the field of esophagogastric surgery.

Scientific evidence increases the quality of medical care. Staying up-to-date is key to providing better care for patients with obesity or esophagogastric problems"

This postgraduate diploma in Esophagogastric and Bariatric Surgery contains the most complete and up-to-date scientific program on the market. The most important features of the program include:

• Contains cinical cases presented by experts. 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
• Diagnostic and therapeutic developments in the care of patients with esophageal and gastric problems
• Presentation of practical workshops on procedures, diagnostic and therapeutic techniques for infectious diseases and guidelines for bariatric surgery
• Video lessons on the different pathologies and their approach
• Algorithm-based interactive learning system for decision-making in the presented clinical situations
• Theoretical lessons, questions to the expert, debate forums on controversial topics, and individual reflection assignments
• Availability of the contents from any fixed or portable device with internet connection

This postgraduate diploma may be the best investment you can make in the selection of a refresher program for two reasons: in addition to updating your knowledge in care to patients with esophagogastric pathology, you will obtain a postgraduate diploma from TECH Global University"

Its teaching staff includes leading surgeons, who bring to this training the experience of their work, in addition to other specialists belonging to prestigious scientific societies.

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

This program is designed around Problem Based Learning, whereby the physician must try to solve the different professional practice situations that arise during the course. This will be done with the help of an innovative interactive video system created by renowned experts in bariatric and esophagogastric surgery, with extensive teaching experience.

Increase your decision-making confidence by updating your knowledge with this postgraduate diploma"

Don't miss the opportunity to update your knowledge in the care of patients with esophagogastric pathology to increase the quality of daily medical care"

The postgraduate diploma program is oriented towards a review of the main aspects of the current management of obese patients and patients with esophagogastric pathology, based on scientific evidence and the experience of renowned professionals in the field of critical care.
