Acquire knowledge on fundamental aspects to improve your treatment of patients with non-malignant hematologies" 

Non-malignant hematologic diseases in children are usually described as mild, benign abnormalities with spontaneous resolution in the first weeks of life. Therefore, it is essential to have professionals who are trained in these conditions and can provide the care they require to heal properly. It is also vitally important for nurses to understand that ongoing specialization will help them perform better in an area of work that continues to change and innovate.  

 
Therefore, the postgraduate diploma in Nursing Care of the Pediatric Patient with Non-malignant Hematologic Pathology provides all the necessary and updated information in this field. In the first module, students will be introduced to the basics of neonatal and pediatric hematology, where they will explore the biological basis of blood diseases in fetuses and neonates. On the other hand, they will contrast normal and abnormal development of children and adolescents for the development of a holistic view of diseases.  

Moving forward in the classes, you will learn about the different blood disorders, such as anemia and its different variants. The future graduate will also have the opportunity to learn about the different bleeding disorders in newborns and all the clinical and etiological characteristics that accompany them. Near the end, you will be introduced to the Developmental and Family Centered Care Model, which will help train you to not only treat the patient, but to support family members who are also living with these illnesses.  

The teaching team assembled for this University Expert is of recognized prestige and has extensive experience in national and international reference units in the treatment and care of newborns, children and adolescents with hematological disease. The program is 100% online, making it easy for the student to take it conveniently, wherever and whenever he/she wants. All you need is a device with internet access to take your career one step further. A modality according to the current times with all the guarantees to position the engineer in a highly demanded sector.
