Master electroencephalograms and prove that you are a physician capable of meeting even greater healthcare challenges"

A medical professional who aspires to major professional improvements should look for a demanded and current specialization, with which to stand out from his or her colleagues. Clinical neurophysiology, and more specifically electroencephalograms, are often overlooked when looking for a particular specialty given their common use for the diagnosis of various pathologies. 

But this is precisely its strong and attractive point for the medical professional who wants to stand out, because having a full understanding of the most intrinsic and detailed aspects of encephalograms, they will quickly become an essential part of the healthcare organization chart in which they find themselves. 

This TECH Postgraduate certificate brings together, therefore, an extensive and complete syllabus ranging from standard protocols and maneuvers for performing EGG to slow and epileptiform anomalies that the professional may encounter. It also focuses on quantified EGG, a current method that requires state-of-the-art software to see the dynamic changes that occur during cognitive processing tasks, giving the clinician the ability to identify which areas of the brain may be compromised and which are functioning properly. 

A completely online program that adapts to the needs of its students, giving them the possibility of taking it completely at their own pace and specific needs. The student has access to all the didactic material from the first day of the Postgraduate certificate, being able to download it to any device with internet access. 

You will be prepared to know how to recognize any abnormalities in the EEGs you perform, which will make you vital to your healthcare team"
