Thanks to this program, master the mechanisms to interpret the updated imaging tests aimed at detecting a traumatic injury”

Diagnostic imaging is the best ally for doctors to quickly detect the pathology suffered by a patient who requires urgent intervention and then adapt the treatment and care to the results obtained. Given their relevance, diagnostic mechanisms have undergone an enormous revolution in recent years to enable them to be carried out in a short interval of time and to facilitate the tasks of physicians. Due to the positive impact they have on the possible recovery of the patient, the physician is obliged to master the interpretation of the most advanced tests in order to provide top quality health care.

That is why TECH has created this Hybrid professional master’s degree, in order to provide the health professional with the most updated knowledge in the field of diagnosis of diseases through imaging tests, as well as in the selection of the most appropriate tests based on the pathology in question. Throughout this academic period, students will expand their knowledge in the interpretation of images used to detect heart failure, a vascular lesion in the central nervous system or a bone fracture. Similarly, they will undertake an ultrasound evaluation in special situations such as patients suffering severe trauma, shock or stroke.

In turn, this academic itinerary is distinguished by the collaboration of an International Guest Director of maximum prestige and the best scientific and research results. This specialist is involved in the program through the development of 10 rigorous Masterclasses.

All this theoretical learning phase is developed in a 100% online mode, which enables students to complete their studies without the need to make uncomfortable trips to physical educational centers. In addition, this teaching is complemented with a 3-week internship in a reference hospital, where they will put into real work all their acquired knowledge and perfect their healthcare work.

During this Hybrid professional master’s degree, you will receive a series of rigorous Masterclasses from an internationally renowned expert in the field of Clinical Imaging”

This Hybrid professional master’s degree in Clinical Imaging for Emergency and Critical Care contains the most complete and up-to-date scientific program on the market.The most important features include:

• Development of more than 100 clinical cases presented by medical professionals with expertise in diagnostic imaging in emergency, urgent and critical care situations 
• The graphic, schematic, and practical contents with which they are created, provide scientific and practical information on the disciplines that are essential for professional practice 
• Updated imaging techniques for the detection of acute pathologies of the cardiovascular system
