Internship program Geriatric Nursing

Geriatric Nursing is one of the healthcare disciplines that evolves the most due to ongoing scientific research for better treatments and assistance equipment. Therefore, professionals in this field must stay continuously updated on protocols for handling injuries and falls, neurological rehabilitation, or nutritional evaluation. However, this ongoing update is challenging because the educational program does not offer focused programs on the competencies and applications of these innovations. In response to this situation, TECH is committed to a 100% in-person and intensive mode of study. Throughout this training process, students will have the opportunity to expand their skills in an immersive manner by providing care to real patients for 3 weeks in a healthcare center equipped with the best clinical care resources.

The aging population encompasses more countries each day, and societies are facing the challenge of caring for a large number of dependent individuals in the near future. In this context, Geriatric Nursing professionals are indispensable as they are responsible for implementing care procedures that enable a higher quality of life for these individuals. Thanks to innovations in the field, they have access to new devices and technologies that facilitate the rehabilitation of the elderly in cases of injuries and falls, neurological stimulation in severe dementia cases, and other therapeutic actions recommended by specialist physicians. At the same time, not all nurses manage to master the most up-to-date techniques in this field due to the lack of educational programs that include their practical applications.

TECH aims to address this situation through this certificate. In it, the student will complete a clinical internship at an elite hospital center. The educational process will span 3 weeks, with classes held from Monday to Friday, each day for 8 consecutive hours. During this period, students will have the opportunity to operate modern equipment that enhances the mobility of the elderly and enables nurses to implement state-of-the-art care protocols. Through this direct interaction with real patients, every graduate will be able to significantly enhance their skills.

Furthermore, in this Geriatric Nursing Internship program, students will be guided by highly reputable experts who will address questions and relevant concepts throughout the learning process. They will clarify doubts and interesting concepts throughout the learning process. In addition, an assigned mentor, appointed by TECH, will oversee progress and dynamically introduce tasks that enhance the complexity of care skills.
