Incorporate into your daily work the main technological and therapeutic innovations for the neurorehabilitation of patients with orofacial pathology through this intensive and rigorous TECH program”

With scientific and technological advances, the discipline of Speech Neurorehabilitation has managed to develop new protocols and tools, requiring physicians to be consciously qualified in all its new developments. However, keeping up to date on these aspects can be cumbersome when educational programs with an excessive theoretical load abound. With such study models, the graduates are not able to complete their educational preparation with the indispensable knowledge to apply specific techniques and devices from the very first moment after completing their studies.

This TECH program overcomes all these disadvantages with an innovative pedagogical modality that includes a 100% practical, on-site and immersive internship. For its development, the health professional will move to a prestigious hospital institution, equipped with the latest healthcare resources for the care of patients with conditions such as Hypophonia generated by Parkinson's, Dysphagia, Aphasia, among others. From there, students will have the opportunity to learn the handling of all these instruments and procedures from the direct approach of real patients.

In addition, at all times, they will have the personalized guidance of an assistant tutor. This academic figure will be in charge of helping you to expand your competencies through a dynamic and direct education. Likewise, you will be able to work together with great experts who will share their experiences and clarify doubts or concepts of interest to promote the active preparation of the specialist. This program, pioneer in its type, has a duration of 3 weeks, to be completed in 8-hour days, from Monday to Friday. At the end of this period, graduates will be able to incorporate their new knowledge into their daily medical work seamlessly and with the best results guaranteed.

Enjoy an intensive 3-week internship at a prestigious center and update yourself on the latest clinical procedures in order to grow professionally"

In order to update specialists on the latest trends in Speech Neurorehabilitation and Vital Functions Analysis, TECH has developed this very complete program. Unlike other programs in the market, with this Practical Training the graduate will be able to assimilate the most modern contents without dedicating long hours to theoretical study, but will acquire them in a face-to-face and direct way.
