Internship program Sports Nursing

Injury prevention, proper recovery, and nutritional strategies for athletes are some of the tasks in which the Sports Nursing personnel are involved. In the last few decades, these professionals have come to rely on a wide range of monitoring and evaluation resources to help provide specific care. They also have greater autonomy to exercise first-level protocols and design intervention strategies on their own. However, there are not enough programs on the educational market that contribute to its practical updating from a practical point of view. For this reason, TECH has designed a 3-week study method composed of an intensive internship in a renowned hospital center.
