This Hybrid professional master’s degree unifies, like no other program, the advances in Clinical Nutrition in Pediatrics that you so desire to update your professional practice"

The high incidence of Diabetes and Obesity in children has forced researchers in Clinical Nutrition in Pediatrics to search for new clinical procedures for the management and recovery of their patients. For this reason, this medical field is currently undergoing constant renewal and new work methodologies are continually appearing, making the professional work of specialists more complex. Keeping up with the times is a challenge and, to do so, everyone demands educational programs that help them develop a better understanding and greater skills in addressing eating disorders and specific nutritional requirements. 

TECH, aware of this context, has created a program whose study model is pioneering in its type. As a result, this Hybrid professional master’s degree in Clinical Nutrition in Pediatrics offers a learning option marked by two well-differentiated stages. Initially, the doctor will study theoretically all the advances in this health sector, dedicating 1,500 hours of academic analysis to the contents provided in a 100% online and interactive platform. From there, you can reinforce your knowledge through multimedia resources such as infographics, videos, and interactive summaries. Relearning, a rigorous methodology that will allow you to master all subjects with greater flexibility and speed, is the main teaching tool. 

Then, in a second study phase, the specialist will have a 120-hour clinical internship in an international reference hospital. That process will be organized from Monday to Friday, until completing 3 weeks, in which you will have access to the most modern technologies and assistance protocols. The stay has a face-to-face character and differs from others in the educational scenario by allowing direct contact of the doctor with real patients from the very first moment. In addition, the entire practical phase will be advised by leading experts and an assistant tutor. In this way, the student's educational progress will be properly monitored and they will be able to focus on specific areas to improve their skills with the highest level of rigor and exigency.

With 1,500 hours of theoretical learning and 120 hours of clinical practice you will be ready to face the most modern challenges in the field of Clinical Nutrition in Pediatrics" 

This Hybrid professional master’s degree in Clinical Nutrition in Pediatrics 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 professionals in Clinical Nutrition in Pediatrics.
• 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
• Comprehensive systematized action plans for the main pathologies. 
• Presentation of practical workshops on procedures, diagnosis, and treatment techniques in nutritional requirements pediatric patients
• An algorithm-based interactive learning system for decision-making in the clinical situations presented throughout the course.
• Practical clinical guides on approaching different pathologies
• All of this will be complemented by theoretical lessons, questions to the expert, debate forums on controversial topics, and individual reflection assignments.
• Content that is accessible from any fixed or portable device with an Internet connection
• Furthermore, you will be able to carry out a clinical internship in one of the best hospital centers

This program is everything you need to become a cutting-edge specialist, capable of managing complex endocrinological conditions such as Diabetes, from a nutritional point of view"

In this Master's proposal, with a vocational nature and hybrid learning modality, the program is aimed at updating Clinical Nutrition in Pediatrics and professionals who require a high level of qualification. The contents are based on the latest scientific evidence, and oriented in an educational way to integrate theoretical knowledge into practice, and the theoretical-practical elements will facilitate knowledge update and decision-making in patient management.
