Thanks to this Hybrid professional master’s degree, you will have access to advanced specialization, facilitating your continuous updating of knowledge in a medical field in constant evolution, such as Neonatology”

Technological advances in Neonatology, such as intelligent incubators and continuous monitoring systems, have significantly improved the neonatal survival rate worldwide. At the same time, recent studies highlight that the global rate of prematurity remains high, affecting approximately 10% of births, which underlines the importance of highly specialized Neonatal Intensive Care Units (NICU).

This is how this Hybrid professional master’s degree was born, thanks to which doctors will investigate neonatal assessment techniques to detect complications from birth, delving into the physiological transition of the neonate. They will also analyze the safety and effectiveness of admission protocols in neonatal units, including the management of neonatal transport and thermal control strategies to prevent complications such as Hypothermia.

Likewise, the physiopathology of Neonatal Respiratory Diseases will be analyzed, together with the application of respiratory assistance modalities, such as Mechanical and Non Invasive Ventilation. In this sense, professionals will master Neonatal Resuscitation techniques, evaluating their impact on premature and low weight neonates. In addition, critical conditions such as Neonatal Shock and Sepsis will be examined, together with Congenital Heart Disease.

Finally, specialized areas will be included, such as Neurological, Digestive and Hematological Disorders in neonates, where complex pathologies such as Hypoxic-Ischemic Encephalopathy, Necrotizing Enterocolitis and Hyperbilirubinemia will be addressed. Likewise, experts will be updated on the immunological development of the newborn and its relationship with Perinatal Infections.

Therefore, TECH has implemented a comprehensive program, which will be divided into two distinct sections. First, graduates will be able to study the theory completely online, only needing an electronic device with an Internet connection, with the support of the revolutionary Relearning learning methodology, consisting of the reiteration of key concepts for an optimal assimilation of the contents. Ultimately, the program includes a practical stay of 3 weeks in a prestigious hospital center.

"Make the most of this opportunity to learn about the latest advances in this subject to apply it to your daily practice"

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

• Development of more than 100 clinical cases presented by medicine professionals with expertise in Neonatology and university professors with extensive experience in newborn patients.

• Comprehensive systematized action plans for the main pathologies in Neonatology.
• Presentation of practical workshops on diagnostic and therapeutic techniques in neonatal patients.
• An algorithm-based interactive learning system for decision-making in the clinical situations presented throughout the course.
• Practical clinical guides on approaching different pathologies
• All of this will be complemented by theoretical lessons, questions to the expert, debate forums on controversial topics, and individual reflection assignments
• Content that is accessible from any fixed or portable device with an Internet connection.
  Furthermore, you will be able to carry out a clinical internship in one of the best hospital centers

Face-to-face internships will guarantee the acquisition of specialized clinical skills in neonatal care, favoring a direct immersion in the management of real cases”

In this proposed Master's Degree, of a professionalizing nature and blended learning modality, the program is aimed at updating medical professionals who perform their functions in Neonatal Units, and who require a high level of qualification. The contents are based on the latest scientific evidence, and oriented in a didactic way to integrate theoretical knowledge into Doctor practice, and the theoretical-practical elements will facilitate the updating of knowledge and allow decision making in patient management.

Thanks to the multimedia content, developed with the latest educational technology, Medicine professionals will benefit from contextual learning, i.e., a simulated environment that will provide immersive learning programmed to specialize 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. For this purpose, students will be assisted by an innovative interactive video system created by renowned and experienced experts.

You will delve into the physiological and anatomical adaptations that the neonate undergoes as it moves from intrauterine to extrauterine life, thanks to an extensive library of innovative multimedia resources"

You will be specialized in techniques to ensure survival and improve short- and long-term outcomes in babies with respiratory problems or who are born with low birth weight problems"

The content will cover a wide range of topics crucial to the specialized management of newborns, from initial assessment to treatment of complex conditions. Therefore, the program will include an update on the pathophysiology of various neonatal diseases, such as Respiratory, Cardiovascular and Neurological disorders, as well as the management of Infections and Digestive disorders. In addition, physicians will analyze advanced techniques in Ventilation, Resuscitation and Life Support, along with strategies for thermal management and Neonatal Nutrition.

You will delve into the application of cutting-edge technologies and clinical research, preparing you to meet current challenges in neonatal care and contribute to the advancement of the field”
