Incorporate strategies to reduce problems during lactation into your daily practice with the study of this TECH qualification” 

The postpartum period is critical for both mother and baby. Therefore, it is essential to have professionals up-to-date on the latest technological advances and care protocols to provide both with quality care. Healthcare personnel, in charge of assisting medical teams, must be able to integrate fetal heart rate monitoring with the help of sophisticated tools and detect complications, such as postpartum hemorrhage, in advance. In this context, the demand for academic programs that address the practical applications of these techniques is continuous. Unfortunately, it is common for more weight to be given to conventional learning than to the development of new skills. This leads to a greater demand for programs focused on the acquisition of competencies.

For this reason, TECH has designed this Internship Program, a pioneer of its kind, which allocates 3 weeks to the updating and development of new skills related to Postpartum. For this purpose, the students will be linked to a renowned hospital center where they will have access to the best technological resources and will analyze, in situ, the most advanced procedures of this discipline. This academic process, consisting of 120 didactic hours, will allow them to assist real patients with specific requirements such as palliative care, infection control, pediatric supervision, among others.

During this intensive face-to-face stay, the graduates will discuss intervention strategies, assessment and therapeutic practice with experts of great prestige. They will help them update on the latest scientific evidence, taking their own experiences as a starting point. In turn, an assistant tutor will insert dynamic tasks throughout the program and will be in charge of clarifying doubts and concepts that may arise throughout this professional practice.
