Introduction to the Program

Gracias a estaPostgraduate diploma 100% online, llevarás a cabo campañas de promoción de la salud y educación sanitaria dirigidas a diferentes públicos” 

La Vigilancia de la Salud Pública es un aspecto fundamental para identificar y controlar enfermedades infecciosas y crónicas a nivel global. A este respecto, un reciente informe de la Organización Mundial de la Salud desvela que durante los últimos años han fallecido aproximadamente 1.5 millones de personas debido a la Tuberculosis. Esto subraya la importancia de llevar a cabo una vigilancia eficaz para su control. En este sentido, los enfermeros desempeñan un papel clave en la recopilación y análisis de datos epidemiológicos. Por eso, deben interpretar estas informaciones con precisión para comprender la dinámica de las enfermedades y planificar cuidados efectivos.  

En este escenario, TECH implementa un pionero programa en Public Health Surveillance for Nursing. El itinerario académico profundizará en el manejo de los Sistemas de Autocontrol más innovadores, ateniendo a factores como los puntos de control críticos. el establecimiento de protocolos preventivos o la evaluación de riesgos. Asimismo, el temario ahondará en los procedimientos que los enfermeros deben seguir ante alertas, brotes epidémicos y emergencias. También los materiales didácticos analizarán una variedad de técnicas para prevenir tanto enfermedades transmisibles como ni transmisibles, haciendo hincapié en el Cáncer. De este modo, los egresados desarrollarán competencias avanzadas para monitorear el estado de los individuos y planificar programas para promover una óptima Salud Pública. 

Por otro lado, la titulación universitaria se imparte de forma completamente online para que los enfermeros puedan personalizar su tiempo de estudio. Además, TECH emplea su innovador sistema de aprendizaje: el Relearning. Este permite que los profesionales afiancen los conceptos del temario de forma progresiva y natural, sin la necesidad de recurrir a técnicas costosas como la tradicional memorización. Para acceder al Campus Virtual, lo único que necesitarán es un dispositivo electrónico con conexión a internet. De este modo, los egresados podrán disfrutar los recursos educativos más dinámicos del mercado y experimentar un notable salto de calidad en sus trayectorias laborales.
