Introduction to the Program

Las nuevas formas de enseñar necesitan nuevas fórmulas de enseñanza y aprendizaje: entra a formar parte de los líderes de este cambio en la escuela”

El trabajo de la neuropsicología es complejo. Abarca un amplio espectro de intervención que requiere del profesional una capacitación muy específica en las diversas ramas del desarrollo cerebral. Esta disciplina, ligada profundamente a la neurología y al estudio fisiológico del cerebro, se ve afectada por los cambios que la evolución del conocimiento en esta rama científica consigue. Esto supone para el profesional un intenso reto de actualización permanente que le permita estar en vanguardia en cuanto a abordaje, intervención y seguimiento de los casos que pueden presentarse en su consulta.

A lo largo de esta especialización, el alumno recorrerá todos los planteamientos actuales en el trabajo del neuropsicólogo en los diferentes retos que su profesión plantea. Un paso de alto nivel que se convertirá en un proceso de mejora, no solo profesional, sino personal.

Este reto es uno de los que en TECH Global University asume como compromiso social: ayudar a la especialización de profesionales altamente cualificados y desarrollar sus competencias personales, sociales y laborales durante el desarrollo la misma.
