The latest advances in the area of Clinical Neurology compiled in a highly efficient educational program, which will optimize your effort with the best results"

Although neurological diagnosis is now made with greater certainty than in past decades, this accuracy has undoubtedly been facilitated by the advent of increasingly sophisticated diagnostic research techniques. These advances involve new knowledge and scientific developments fostered by incessant research. 

Non-specialized medical professionals need access to the necessary knowledge in this field, even if they are not specialists in this area of work, in order to be able to act efficiently. However, accessing the necessary knowledge in this area and keeping up to date in this area can become incompatible with professional and personal Life. On the other hand, the professional in this specialty needs to find ways of updating their knowledge that is compatible with their personal and professional life. 

This program has been created to provide an efficient response to this need: it focuses on real healthcare conditions, is eminently practical, and does not go beyond what is essential in complex topics with little clinical repercussion. 

The field of Neurology is wide, complex and extensive. This program will guide the student so that they will be able to apply all the methodology required for the basic mastery of the specialty at the corresponding level in a global, balanced and staggered manner. 

Focused on the real context in which non-specialist physicians act and their diagnostic and care needs, this professional master’s degree in Update on Neurology will develop the knowledge that is truly necessary in a first or second level practice, avoiding dispersion in the learning effort. 

The program aims to train with rigor, teach with precision and provide ways of improvement so that students are able to lead realistic assistance and teaching programs in the specific area of their professional competencies. 

All the necessary methodology for the non-specialist medical professional in the field of Neurology, in a specific and concrete program" 

This professional master’s degree in Update on Neurology contains the most complete and up-to-date scientific program on the market. The most important features include:  

• Development of a large number of case studies presented by experts
