Childhood is not a territory exempt from rheumatological disease (RD). Although it is difficult to know their exact prevalence, given the absence of specific and global studies, they are potentially serious diseases that carry with them a significant decrease in the quality of life of the affected child. Comprehensive care for patients and their families as a fundamental part of the process is an essential condition in the approach to this group of diseases. 

This professional master’s degree offers a different look at global care that a child affected by RD needs. A comprehensive approach that covers all aspects of this care: from pre- and post-diagnostic care for families, pharmacological criteria, and psychological and emotional care for the affected person and their environment.

A holistic approach will be acquired through the most specific and comprehensive online training on the market.

During this very complete Master's Degree you will have the opportunity to acquire the basic knowledge necessary to deal with the situations that arise around a child or adolescent suspected of having a RD and ME. From the moment of diagnosis, together with the development of the guidelines to be followed by the specialist, to the information on procedures or approaches to be avoided in this medical practice.

This program will also offer you a different view of what RD means thanks to the participation of expert patients; an unparalleled opportunity to complement your medical knowledge from a different perspective. This approach of the Master's Degree is intended to respond to the need for general practitioners, orthopaedic surgeons, paediatricians, rheumatologists, social workers, nurses, psychologists and many other professionals to be able to manage situations with a high impact on the lives of children and young people and their families.

Professional Master's Degree in Updating in Pediatric Rheumatology

Although it is considered that rheumatic diseases such as osteoarthritis, fibromyalgia or low back pain are not so recurrent in children, the truth is that in particular cases where such pathophysiological disorders are present, their severity is much greater than in adults. This aspect makes it necessary to reinforce medical skills in order to provide the best possible treatment. With this in mind, TECH Global University offers its Professional Master's Degree in Pediatric Rheumatology Update, a remarkably useful postgraduate course that covers, through ten thematic modules, all the necessary aspects to address patients diagnosed with rheumatologic and musculoskeletal diseases (ERyME); from the primary approach when the symptomatology in question is incipient, through musculoskeletal pain in early ages and systemic inflammation, to pharmacological treatment. The plus of this training is that it is 100% online, so the lack of time will not be an impediment to optimize your curriculum and you will be able to have full autonomy in schedules and intensity. If your aspiration is to stand out as a doctor, you have come to the right place.

Updating your knowledge in pediatric rheumatology

Between the first months of life and puberty, a process occurs that is fundamental for the optimal development of the locomotor system in the child: ossification; whether it is intramembranous or endochondral, its field of action is responsible for the joints and bones in general to reach maturity. This ossamenta in full development can therefore be more vulnerable to rheumatic diseases if it is not properly diagnosed for joint pain. Certain disorders such as posterior uveitis, psoriasis or nutritional malabsorption, which are apparently unrelated to bone disorders, can have rheumatological connotations. How can these pathologies be elucidated? That is why our Professional Master's Degree exists. Not only will we enhance your ability to assess the patient, but we will also instruct you in other musculoskeletal symptoms such as hyperlaxity, scoliosis or hip dysplasia. All of this is enhanced by flexible classes, interactive multimedia material and a faculty that uses innovative teaching methodologies. Take your career to another level of professionalism with TECH.
