Delve into the four Pediatric specialties that have made the most progress in recent decades, examining both technical and practical developments"

Areas such as Pediatric Plastic Surgery may be unknown to most pediatricians today, but the truth is that today they have a multitude of tools to treat pathologies such as childhood burns or scar sequelae. Likewise, other fields of knowledge such as airway, thoracic, head and neck surgery can be a real challenge for specialists, which encourages further deepening and updating in them.

Added to this situation is the growing need for multidisciplinary teams in the pediatric area, capable of attending the whole variety of pathologies and complications that patients from infancy to adolescence may present. Since this multidisciplinary capacity is demanded with greater emphasis, TECH Global University has developed a complete program that delves into all of them.

Therefore, in this Postgraduate diploma, the specialist will have access to the latest scientific and technical developments about pathologies and cases such as craniofacial malformations, pediatric thoracoscopy, congenital anomalies and benign and malignant liver tumors. All this, sponsored by a teaching staff of the highest quality, composed of experts of reference in each field of action.

Additionally, knowing that in many cases it is complex to combine a degree of these characteristics with one's own responsibilities or daily practice, TECH Global University has given it a completely online format. This means that all the content is available for download on the Virtual Campus, eliminating the need for on-site classes and fixed schedules.

In addition, this educational program will include the participation of a renowned International Guest Director, with an outstanding trajectory in Pediatric Surgery, and will provide students with access to Masterclasses focused on the most recent innovations in the discipline.

Strengthen your profile with TECH and participate in an exceptional and supplementary Masterclasses, guided by a prestigious lecturer with an international reputation in Pediatric Surgery”

This Postgraduate diploma in Pediatric Surgery Specialties contains the most complete and up-to-date scientific program on the market.The most important features include:

• The development of practical cases presented by Pediatric Surgery experts.
• The graphic, schematic and eminently practical contents with which it is conceived gather scientific and practical information on those disciplines that are indispensable for professional practice
• Practical exercises where self-assessment can be used 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

Get up to date on everything related to bone tumors, mammary pathology in childhood and adolescence, thyroid pathology and pleuropulmonary pathology"

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.

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 education programmed to learn in real situations.

This program is designed around Problem-Based Learning, whereby the professional 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 decide when and how to take on the entire course load, with the maximum flexibility possible"

The Postgraduate diploma has been reinforced with a multitude of high-quality multimedia resources, which allow you to further analyze each topic in detail"

Following the practical methodology of Relearning, TECH Global University and the teaching team have elaborated all the contents of this Postgraduate diploma seeking maximum efficiency for the student. The teaching is gradual and natural, reiterating the most important concepts of the Specialties in Pediatric Surgery to save a considerable amount of study hours for the specialist. Additionally, the entire syllabus is supported by multimedia content and self-knowledge exercises that help to assimilate it in a more progressive way.

It delves, through multiple complementary readings for each topic, into Pediatric Surgery of the Airway, Thorax, Head and Neck"
