Introduction to the Program

You will incorporate, with this TECH Internship program, the latest Nursing trends to assess and report to the physician the condition of your patients after receiving orofacial strengthening treatments"

Some international medical reports estimate that about 590 million people worldwide suffer from a swallowing disorder. Given the increasing incidence of these conditions, scientific and technological innovation has brought different techniques and chemical treatments to improve the quality of life of these patients. Some of the newer procedures include improving muscle coordination of the mouth and throat. Medications are also applied to reduce the amount of saliva produced and other underlying discomforts. In this context, nurses have gained significant importance and must assume greater responsibilities in terms of monitoring and personalized supervision of each condition. However, these professionals do not always have programs with a practical approach to help them update their skills in this regard.

Based on this scenario, TECH has developed this 100% face-to-face, intensive and immersive degree program. Through this course, you will learn the latest skills required by the health sector of the nursing staff dedicated to Speech and Orofacial Neurorehabilitation. In particular, you will master firsthand the latest strategies for strengthening the oral musculature of patients who have been prescribed by a medical specialist. You will also learn how new technologies facilitate the process of monitoring your patients and how they can be applied.

In addition, you will have the personalized guidance of an assistant tutor who will monitor your progress in the development of new practical skills. Under his guidance, you will have the opportunity to work directly with real patients, from a specialized center equipped with the best healthcare resources. In addition, the training will last 3 weeks, distributed in consecutive 8-hour days, from Monday to Friday.
