An intensive, multidisciplinary and 100% online program to bring you up to date on health care in Pregnancy Pathologies in just 12 months” 

Pregnancy can have serious consequences on the mother's health, since the hormonal changes that women undergo from fertilization to delivery are extremely high, contributing, on many occasions, to an imbalance that ends up causing digestive, hematological, cardiac, neurological problems and a long etcetera. In addition, it is necessary to consider the consequences that these pathologies can cause on the correct fetal development. For this reason, during pregnancy, pregnant women are subjected to strict control and multiple tests to diagnose possible conditions early and establish the most effective treatments as soon as possible.

In order that nursing professionals can learn in detail the developments that have emerged in recent years regarding the clinical management of such cases, TECH and its team of experts in Obstetrics and Gynecology have developed a complete Professional master’s degree for it. Thanks to this program, nurses will be able to delve into the latest scientific evidence related to care during pregnancy, especially in cases of risk. Throughout 1,800 hours of the best theoretical and practical content, they will learn about the advances in the treatment of the most common problems that usually appear during pregnancy, childbirth and postpartum, as well as the most innovative and accurate early diagnosis techniques. In addition, this program has the participation of two prestigious International Guest Directors, who will give 10 Masterclasses each in their respective fields of specialization.

All this can be done 100% online, since the content of this program and its control will be done through the Virtual Campus. Therefore, professionals will be able to connect whenever they want, from wherever they want and through any device with Internet connection, be it PC, Tablet or cell phone. And they will be able to keep up to date and combined with their work activity in the hospital or clinic.
