06MethodologyThis training program provides you with a different way of learning. Our methodologyuses a cyclical learning approach: Relearning.This teaching system is used, for example, in the most prestigious medical schools inthe world, and major publications such as the New England Journal of Medicine haveconsidered it to be one of the most effective.

Methodology 27Discover Relearning, a system that abandonsconventional linear learning, to take you throughcyclical teaching systems: a way of learning thathas proven to be extremely effective, especiallyin subjects that require memorization"

28 MethodologyAt TECH we use the Case MethodWhat should a professional do in a given situation? Throughout the program, studentswill face multiple simulated clinical cases, based on real patients, in which they will haveto do research, establish hypotheses, and ultimately resolve the situation. There is anabundance of scientific evidence on the effectiveness of the method. Specialists learnbetter, faster, and more sustainably over time.With TECH you will experience a wayof learning that is shaking the foundationsof traditional universities around the world.According to Dr. Gérvas, the clinical case is the annotated presentation of a patient, orgroup of patients, which becomes a "case", an example or model that illustrates somepeculiar clinical component, either because of its teaching power or because of itsuniqueness 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 29Did you know that this method was developedin 1912, at Harvard, for law students? The casemethod consisted of presenting students withreal-life, complex situations for them to makedecisions and justify their decisions on how tosolve them. In 1924, Harvard adopted it as astandard teaching method”The effectiveness of the method is justified by four fundamental achievements:1. Students who follow this method not only achieve the assimilation ofconcepts, but also a development of their mental capacity, throughexercises that evaluate real situations and the application of knowledge.2. Learning is solidly translated into practical skills that allow the student tobetter integrate into the real world.3. Ideas and concepts are understood more efficiently, given that the examplesituations 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 timededicated to working on the course.

30 MethodologyRelearning MethodologyAt TECH we enhance the Harvard case method with the best100% online teaching methodology available: Relearning.This university is the first in the world to combine the study of clinicalcases with a 100% online learning system based on repetition,combining a minimum of 8 different elements in each lesson, a realrevolution with respect to the mere study and analysis of cases.Professionals will learn throughreal cases and by resolvingcomplex situations in simulatedlearning environments. Thesesimulations are developed usingstate-of-the-art software tofacilitate immersive learning.

Methodology 31At the forefront of world teaching, the Relearning method has managed to improvethe overall satisfaction levels of professionals who complete their studies, withrespect to the quality indicators of the best online university (Columbia University).With this methodology, more than 250.000 physicians have been trained withunprecedented success in all clinical specialties regardless of surgical load. Ourpedagogical methodology is developed in a highly competitive environment, with auniversity student body with a strong socioeconomic profile and an average age of43.5 years old.Relearning will allow you to learn with less effortand better performance, involving you more inyour specialization, developing a critical mindset,defending arguments, and contrasting opinions:a direct equation to success.In our program, learning is not a linear process, but rather a spiral (learn, unlearn,forget, and re-learn). Therefore, we combine each of these elements concentrically.The overall score obtained by TECH's learning system is 8.01, according to thehighest international standards.
