With this innovative practical learning modality, you will incorporate to your professional practice the most advanced strategies for the approach of infectious, inflammatory and/or autoimmune diseases of the infant nervous system"

Until a few years ago, diseases such as epilepsy, hydrocephalus or infantile cerebral palsy were crippling for the pediatric patient who suffered from them. However, current scientific and technological advances have made all these pathologies more manageable, providing the child with a better quality of life. Another proof of this are the discoveries related to infectious, inflammatory and/or autoimmune diseases of the nervous system. From sophisticated strategies of recent implementation, pharmacological procedures and other therapeutic alternatives have been found to counter these conditions. Moreover, in the surgical field, there are now much more efficient strategies that favor the preservation of brain tissue through implants and other devices.

At the same time, neuro-pediatricians are not always aware of how to apply these new advantages because, in the educational market, programs with a high theoretical load prevail. However, TECH wants to set itself apart from other qualifications by offering the specialist a new academic modality.

This is how this Internship program in Pediatric Neurology and Neurodevelopment arises, based on a 3-week intensive face-to-face stay. During this learning process, the health professional will move to a medical facility, specialized in this health discipline and equipped with the latest technological and clinical resources. In addition, specialists have the opportunity to choose the facility that best suits their geographic location and pedagogical improvement interests.

Throughout the program, TECH will provide the student with the advice of an assistant tutor. This figure has been appointed to accompany the student in the development of practical skills and to incorporate the most avant-garde procedures of the moment into their practice. In addition, the neuro-pediatrician will have the opportunity to work and dialogue with other experts in order to gather as much experience as possible.

A unique training experience, key and decisive to boost your professional development"

As a central goal, this qualification aims for its graduates to develop various practical skills for the management of children's neurological pathologies, directly and through the clinical care of real patients. For this reason, it allocates 3 weeks of intensive and immersive face-to-face stay to the approach of the main instruments aand techniques that are now implemented in this specialty, from a hospital center of maximum prestige and rigor.

This academic itinerary is exclusive to TECH and you will be able to develop it at your own pace thanks to its 100% online Relearning methodology"
