TECH provides you with the most cutting-edge and accurate information on infectious diseases in clinical practice, so you can keep up with the latest news on chronic patients and respiratory pathologies” 

It is certainly inevitable to think of COVID-19 when discussing viral respiratory diseases. The worldwide pandemic that unleashed the proliferation of SARS-CoV-2 from Wuhan to the most distant countries revealed the vulnerability of humans to the attack of unknown pathogens. The pathology mainly affects the respiratory system and causes everything from simple colds to fatal pneumonia. This type of disease is closely associated with chronic diseases, which are considered to be one of the main causes of death, since sufferers are at greater risk of infection and the consequences are more serious in them than in healthy people.  

However, the combined advances in infectious diseases and medicine have made it possible to establish increasingly effective and specialized clinical guidelines, based on health safety and the design of exhaustive and efficient action protocols. All this is presented in this complete program that TECH and a team versed in this area have developed with the aim of serving as a guide for medical specialists during their update. This program will allow our students to delve into the latest developments in the epidemiology of infectious diseases, especially with regard to oncology or immunocompromised patients. It also focuses on the clinical management of chronic non-communicable diseases and the most frequent infections in this type of cases, with special emphasis on the advances in multi-resistance techniques and the most effective vaccines for each case.

All this in 450 hours of the best theoretical, practical and additional material, which has been condensed in a convenient and flexible 100% online format. Our students will have access to a state-of-the-art Virtual Campus where they will find all the content from any device with an Internet connection, which will allow them to take on the course load from wherever they want and without a pre-established schedule. Thus, they will benefit from an academic experience that not only adapts to the demands of clinical practice, but also to their needs in a guaranteed way.  

Through a 100% online academic experience you are guaranteed to update your knowledge on the epidemiology of infectious diseases”
