More than 500 national and international students They have participated In the first year of the Training and Training Center (TEC, for the acronym for Training & Education Center) In advanced ultrasound and hysteroscopy of the Gynecology and Obstetrics Service of the Quirónsalud Malaga Hospitalboth in his face -to -face programs in Malaga and in his displacements to other cities to provide highly specialized training.
The center, equipped with simulators in high -resolution gynecological and obstetric ultrasound and minimally invasive hysteroscopic and laparoscopic surgery, Combine training models with the analysis of real cases for an immersive training experience.
«The goal of Tec is to offer rigorous, practical and high level training for gynecologists who want to advance in specific and complex areas such as Gynecological ultrasound, hysteroscopy or the diagnosis of annexal masses. The most valuable thing about this model is concentrated access to real cases of international reference »says the doctor Rodrigo Orozco Fernández, head of the Gynecology and Obstetrics Service of the Quirónsalud Malaga Hospital, president of the Association of Gynecologists and Obstetricians of Malaga and Co-Director of Tec.
Tec is the First Super-Specialist Training and Training Center in Europeso it is not surprising the good figures on this first anniversary. Students from Peru, Chile, Mexico, Colombia, Italy and other regions of Europe and Latin America They are specialized in Malaga and the courses taught by the team in other cities. In addition, many others have already reserved their place; So, for example, for the longer duration formative program (four weeks) There are no places available until 2027.
The initiative has the co-direction of three international reference figures in their respective subjects: the Doctor Juan Luis Alcázar Zambrano (Expert in advanced ultrasound), the Doctor Luis Alonso Pacheco (Hysteroscopy expert) and one’s own Doctor Orozcowhich has attracted the implementation of the center in Malaga.
Tec offers several training formats: four -week intensive program, one five days and monographic sessions of a day. In addition, the team regularly moves to other cities to teach in situ courses, which expands the formative impact of the project.
According to Dr. Alcázar, Professor of Obstetrics and Clinical Gynecology and editor of Ultrasound in Obstetrics and Gynecology«Both in ultrasound and in hysteroscopy there are two fundamental aspects to learn to do it well: one is knowing how to do and another is knowing how to interpret what you see. In Tec we work intensely both ».
The interpretation of the image, the use of simulation and seeing how reference experts do high resolution or hysteroscopy ultras a high level of knowledge in a short time and the learning curve is significantly reduced »Dr. Juan Luis Alcázar emphasizes.
This training program is a Super-Specialization in Reproductive Medicine, Annexial Tumor Pathology (Ovaries), Endometriosis and Hysteroscopywith a very positive feedback of the students. «Gynecologists need to see many cases to master specific techniques. In Tec, In just 20 days they can review more than 300 complex cases, which in the usual practice would require several years »Add Dr. Alcázar.
As Dr. Luis Alonso, a member of the Board of Directors of the European Society for Gynaecological Endoscopy (ESGE) and former president of the Hysteroscopy Group of the American Association of Gynecologic Laparoscopists (AAGL)«Here you can see In a few months more uterine malformations than in a professional career. That concentrated access to real pathology is one of our great values ».
The Tec-suquisalud Málaga training is also object of study To scientifically measure its impact: a comparative analysis has been raised between first -year resident students and attachments, after intensive training, with promising results in terms of recognition of ultrasound images and shortening of the learning curve.
«Our challenge is to continue consolidating an excellent training model, based on evidence, technology and real clinical experience. That Málaga is today a European epicenter of this training fills us with responsibility and pride », Dr. Orozco concludes.
