Boost your professional healthcare career and be part of the recovery of patients with neurodegenerative diseases thanks to this Postgraduate diploma”

Some advances in Cognitive Neuropsychology have been achieved thanks to novel techniques such as electroencephalography, neuroimaging and neuropsychological tests that measure the psychological and functional performance of the brain. These strategies have led to alternative surgical treatments to treat diseases such as schizophrenia or autism. It is a discipline that continues to expand and perfect its applications, but, above all, demanding experts in the field who can respond with a specialized and highly focused service in the most modern Neuropsychology.

TECH offers an intensive program over a period of 6 months that will provide graduates with all the information they need to master the new issues of this discipline. By taking the Postgraduate diploma, nurses will delve into the principles of Cognitive Neuropsychology, as well as the principles of neuropsychological and behavioral disorders of genetic origin, with special emphasis on aphasia, agraphia and alexia, and cognitive deficits. It will also delve into the principles and origin of mixed transcortical, as well as psychological disorders associated with pathological aging. Finally, it will focus on the main techniques of neuropsychological assessment and rehabilitation, in order to provide an exhaustive review of treatments and their future prospects.
