Population aging, air pollution and smoking are all factors that lead to an increase in chronic respiratory pathologies, such as Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), which have a considerable impact on the population. However, the discovery and widespread use of new treatments has changed the prognosis and evolution of other respiratory diseases, such as Interstitial Lung Disease (ILD), lung cancer and cystic fibrosis, which has opened up a field of research and clinical management that, until recently, was rather limited.

Likewise, the COVID-19 pandemic has forced pulmonologists and other medical specialists to update their knowledge of infectious diseases and has highlighted the usefulness of advanced respiratory therapies such as high-flow oxygen therapy and non-invasive mechanical ventilation for managing respiratory failure.

This professional master’s degree in Pulmonology at TECH Global University aims to provide physicians with an update on the latest scientific evidence available in published guidelines, scientific articles and systematic reviews. As such, the syllabus presented is particularly relevant today, as it includes improvements in diagnostic and therapeutic methods that can change previous paradigms in managing these patients. The syllabus also covers pathophysiological fundamentals and incorporates images that illustrate the latest diagnostic tests. Additionally, the scientific evidence on recently incorporated therapies will be reviewed in depth.

One of the main advantages of this program is that it is taught in a 100% online format, so students will have access to all the contents available in the virtual classroom from the moment they enroll. They will be able to manage their study time independently and, in addition, a self-learning approach will be favored, which will enable them to handle respiratory pathology in an ever-changing era with complete confidence.
