A unique, key, and decisive


training experience to boost your
professional development”

Methodology
This training provides you with a different way of learning. Our methodology
uses a cyclical learning approach: Re-learning.
This teaching system is used in the most prestigious medical schools in the
world, and major publications such as the New England Journal of Medicine
have considered it to be one of the most effective.
Methodology | 27

Discover Re-learning, a system that abandons


conventional linear learning, to take you through
cyclical teaching systems: a way of learning that has
proven to be extremely effective, especially in subjects
that require memorization".
28 | Methodology

At TECH we use the Case Method


In a given situation, what would you do? Throughout the program you will be presented
with multiple simulated clinical cases based on real patients, where you will have
to investigate, establish hypotheses and, finally, resolve the situation. There is an
adundance of scientific evidence on the effectiveness of the method. Specialists learn
better, faster, and more sustainably over time.

With TECH you can experience a way of


learning that is shaking the foundations of
traditional universities around the world.

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

Did you know that this method was developed


in 1912 at Harvard for law students? The case
method consisted of presenting students with
real-life, complex situations for them to make
decisions and justify their decisions on how to
solve them. In 1924, Harvard adopted it as a
standard teaching method.

The effectiveness of the method is justified by four fundamental achievements:  

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.

Our University is the first in the world to combine the study of


clinical cases with a 100% online learning system based on
repetition, combining a minimum of 8 different elements in each
lesson, which represent a real revolution with respect to simply
studying and analyzing cases.

The physician will learn through


real cases and by solving
complex situations in simulated
learning environments. These
simulations are developed using
state-of-the-art software to
facilitate immersive learning.
Methodology | 31

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-
