Acquire, thanks to this Hybrid Master's Degree, all the theoretical and practical knowledge necessary to update your skills as a nurse in the Neurology Service"

Neurology is a very delicate health area, since it encompasses a large number of complex pathologies that influence not only patients but also their environment. This is because these diseases affect people's basic functions of communication and movement, limiting them and conditioning their behavior, causing their relatives and friends to suffer as well. For this reason, being able to offer the best treatments and care to this type of patient is fundamental, and providing them with the best techniques is a basic task if they are to be properly cared for. 

Therefore, in a Neurology Service there are numerous healthcare professionals working to ensure that patients have access to the latest procedures. And within that service, Nursing are fundamental. But to be able to work in this field, you need specific knowledge focused on it. Therefore, this Hybrid Master's Degree offers the student all the keys to delve into this field, with an approach that combines theoretical content, taught with an innovative online methodology, with practice. 

In this way, this program is composed of two parts: in the first part, the professional will be able to update their knowledge through 10 specific modules, while in the second part they will carry out an internship in a reference center in the field of Neurology.

Thanks to this program, therefore, students will be able to obtain an update of knowledge and skills in this area, following a learning process through which they will learn the latest developments in this field, which they will then be able to apply during their internship and in their professional careers. This internship is carried out on an intensive basis, over 3 weeks, from Monday to Friday, 8 hours a day.
