You will learn in depth the advantages of the laparoscopic approach to solve biliary pathologies in complex patients through the contents of this program"

In society, cases of diseases related to the biliary tract are increasing every day. An example of this is Cholangitis, Pancreatitis and Cholangiocarcinomas. Given this, surgeons have a responsibility to research the latest trends in this field in order to provide the best services to patients. However, the most recent scientific evidence on this subject is not always accessible for self-study. Therefore, it is a real challenge for professionals who seek to combine their daily work with academic updating.  

In this context, TECH distinguishes itself in the university scene by offering an innovative program that will allow specialists to catch up on the latest trends in anatomy, physiology and pathologies affecting the biliary tract. Under the supervision of a prestigious teaching staff, the syllabus covers in detail the symptoms and fundamental causes of conditions such as  the formation of stones in the gallbladder. In this way, students have direct access to the most effective treatments and strategies to personalize therapy for each patient according to their medical history. In addition, the syllabus covers preoperative planning through various advanced techniques such as retrograde cholangiopancreatography. 

On the other hand, in order to reinforce these contents, the methodology of this program reinforces its innovative character. TECH offers a 100% online educational environment, tailored to the needs of busy professionals seeking to advance their careers. It also employs the Relearning methodology, based on the repetition of key concepts to fix knowledge and facilitate learning. In this way, the combination of flexibility and a robust pedagogical approach makes it highly accessible. Students will also have access to a library full of multimedia resources in different audiovisual formats.

• Practical exercises where the self-assessment process can be carried out to improve learning 
• Its special emphasis on innovative methodologies  
• 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 

You will achieve your objectives thanks to TECH's didactic tools, among which the explanatory videos and interactive summaries stand out"

The program’s teaching staff includes professionals from the sector who contribute their work experience to this educational program, as well as renowned specialists from leading societies and prestigious universities.

Its 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 an immersive education programmed to learn in real situations.

The design of this program focuses on Problem-Based Learning, by means of which the professional must try to solve the different professional practice situations that are presented throughout the academic course. For this purpose, the student will be assisted by an innovative interactive video system created by renowned experts.

Through a comprehensive module, this program will promote the practical application of knowledge in clinical situations, including the evaluation of biliary obstructions and preoperative planning. Students will employ the use of new emerging technologies (such as magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography) to improve diagnostic accuracy. The syllabus will go in depth into the clinical history, emphasizing the medical history and risk factors that contribute to the appearance of this pathology. In addition, it will address the imaging study by means of innovative instruments such as abdominal ultrasound. In this way, students will detect diseases such as cholelithiasis or choledocholithiasis.

With the Relearning system you will integrate the concepts in a natural and progressive way"
