24 | Structure and Content
According to Dr. Gérvas, the clinical case is the annotated presentation of a patient, or
group of patients, which becomes a "case", an example or model that illustrates some
peculiar clinical component, either because of its teaching potential or because of its
uniqueness or rarity. It is essential that the case is based on current professional life,
trying to recreate the real conditions in the physician's professional practice.
Methodology | 29
1. Students who follow this method not only grasp concepts, but also
develop their mental capacity by evaluating real situations and applying
their knowledge.
2. The learning process has a clear focus on practical skills that allow the
student to better integrate into the real world.
3. Ideas and concepts are understood more efficiently, given that the
example situations are based on real-life.
4. Students like to feel that the effort they put into their studies is worthwhile.
This then translates into a greater interest in learning and more time
dedicated to working on the course.
30 | Methodology
Re-learning Methodology
At TECH we enhance the Harvard case method with the best 100%
online teaching methodology available: Re-learning.
At the forefront of world teaching, the Re-learning method has managed to improve
the overall satisfaction levels of professionals who complete their studies, with
respect to the quality indicators of the best Spanish-speaking online university
(Columbia University).
With this methodology we have trained more than 250,000 physicians with
unprecedented success, in all clinical specialties regardless of the surgical load. All
this in a highly demanding environment, where the students have a strong socio-
economic profile and an average age of 43.5 years.
In our program, learning is not a linear process, but rather a spiral (we learn, unlearn,
forget, and re-learn). Therefore, we combine each of these elements concentrically.
The overall score obtained by our learning system is 8.01, according to the highest
international standards.
