Postgraduate certificate First Trimester Ultrasound

The use of ultrasound in the first trimester of gestation has proven to be a key tool for the early detection of fetal anomalies and the screening of Chromosomopathies. Along these lines, new techniques and study protocols have been developed that have allowed greater precision and reliability in prenatal diagnosis, thus favoring the well-being of the fetus. Thus, physicians must integrate these advances into their daily practice to avoid lagging behind the evolution of their field. For this reason, TECH has created this program, which will allow the specialists to learn about the latest ultrasound methods that optimize the detection of morphological pathology or to identify the latest ultrasound markers of diseases. In addition, it will do so 100% online and without pre-established schedules.
