The new scenarios in Sleep Medicine push us to propose new update programs that meet the real needs of experienced professionals, so that they can incorporate current advances into their daily practice"

There is a growing multidisciplinary interest in Sleep Medicine, a discipline in frank expansion, whether it is approached from a global point of view or from the "partial specialization", depending on the original health field or specific area of interest, in all cases, a rigorous and updated generic knowledge in all its fields is vital. This Postgraduate certificate' more than fulfils this objective from an eminently practical point of view. Its approach sets it apart from many other programs on this very transverse discipline, which are often criticised for being too "descriptive" and "theoretical", and therefore not entirely useful in resolving many situations that arise in clinical management. 

In this program, the student will become familiar with the different techniques available, from the simplest, in which very few parameters are recorded on an outpatient basis, to the more complex tests, often necessary, which provide much more information, are more expensive and usually require hospital registration. You will acquire skills in recording, analyzing, coding and interpreting such evidence with the invaluable aid of appropriate graphical methods. It includes specific chapters on innovative techniques, such as integrated systems and chronosensors, for the study of circadian disturbances, which provide a novel approach to sleep disorders. It is also intended that the student integrates, from an organizational point of view, sleep techniques performed at the local level, in the multidisciplinary and multisectoral level, which is where sleep medicine is currently located. 

With the clear objective of combining scientific evidence and practical utility, this Diploma in Technical and Organizational Aspects of the Diagnostic Process in Sleep-Wakefulness Disorders has a broad, updated and unbeatable program, prepared by a varied team of professional experts (physicians, psychologists, biologists, engineers, etc.), who provide their proven experience in the form of explanations, entertaining and clarifying practical examples, abundant graphic-audiovisual support, absolutely essential in the teaching of this thriving discipline. 

In addition, this program's degree has the advantage of being developed in a 100% online format, so students will be in charge of deciding when and where to study, distributing their study hours to suit them, so that they can combine their studying with the rest of their daily commitments.
