##IMAGE##

The field of surgical technology is constantly expanding, and hospital managers are increasingly looking to recruit professionals whose profile is adapted to the requirements of their job, and who are qualified and endorsed for carrying out this type of work. This is why a new team awareness has been developed among the professionals in the surgical field. They continue to enrich their professional skills in this field every day, in order to meet the demands of new techniques and care that come with the advances in surgery as a whole.

Each one of the very varied surgical interventions that are performed, requires a specific procedure, a specific technique and the unique surgical material for that intervention. One thing they all have in common is a series of steps and rules that all team members should know in detail. They must also know the general functioning of the surgical department in order to prevent and avoid common risks while carrying out professional work. Bad praxis in this specialist department can cause irreparable damage, and can even be fatal for the patient.
 
Healthcare institutions are well aware of this and demand academic profiles with a specialization that adapts to the requirements of the job and professionals who are qualified and endorsed to carry out the work.

This ensures that the professional, whether or not they have experience working in any of the departments that make up the perioperative process, integrates into their work practice the experience of professionals already working in nationally and internationally renowned hospitals with a high scientific, technological and humanistic level.
