Introduction to the Program

Ponte al día de las novedades del manejo enfermero de los Trastornos Orofaciales con un programa del máximo nivel diseñado por los mejores expertos” 

La alimentación es primordial para la supervivencia de las personas, pero en ocasiones, ciertas enfermedades derivan en problemas con la nutrición. Algunas veces, estos pueden venir ocasionados de la propia anatomía de las personas o generados por malos hábitos, como sucede con ciertos Trastornos Orofaciales. En estos casos, los enfermeros juegan un papel fundamental, puesto que muchas de las consultas de estos profesionales vienen derivadas de este tipo de trastornos. 

Por eso, durante este programa, los profesionales se adentrarán en las necesidades de alimentación de las personas con TEA y con Parálisis Cerebral, enfermedades que llevan aparejadas los problemas con la nutrición y que dependen de los profesionales de la Enfermería para mejorar su calidad de vida.

Así, existe una amplia demanda profesional para adquirir las competencias necesarias que actualicen al enfermero de cara a una respuesta educativa, sanitaria y clínica, que sea integral, completa y basada en las últimas tendencias clínicas. Además, es necesaria la colaboración e integración en los equipos de enfermerías de profesionales de otros ámbitos sanitarios que completen el grupo de una forma interdisciplinar. Esta Postgraduate diploma en Orofacial Disorders and Feeding in ASD and CP for Nurses da respuesta a dicha demanda de puesta al día, continuada de los agentes sanitarios, y va dirigida fundamentalmente a profesionales de la Enfermería. Con esta titulación, el enfermero perfeccionará sus competencias para gestionar las alteraciones o trastornos de naturaleza logopédica en los diferentes contextos de trabajo.

Todo ello a través de 450 horas del mejor contenido teórico, práctico y adicional, diseñado por profesionales clínicos del máximo nivel. Así, el egresado podrá acceder al temario más actualizado, además de a casos de uso y a vídeos al detalle, artículos de investigación, lecturas complementarias, resúmenes dinámicos, esquemas y mucho más. Todo compactado en un cómodo formato 100% online, para una actualización cómoda y flexible.
