Learn This program as Latest Information to identify physiological and pathological from the point of view patterns, as well as their correlation with age, level of wakefulness/sleep, consciousness, pharmacological interference and clinical significance” 

In recent years, the academic state of the art in Neurophysiology has multiplied exponentially thanks to numerous scientific research and technological advances. An example of this is the use of botulinum toxin for therapeutic infiltrations to relieve pain in patients with chronic pain. Therefore, it also highlights the application of non-invasive and invasive brain modulation procedures. Medical professionals dedicated to this area need constant updating and, paradoxically, they do not find teaching programs on the market that satisfy their theoretical and practical interests equally.

This is the first time that this TECH Hybrid Master's Degree has been offered to the physician, offering the latest developments in Neurophysiological Diagnosis and Treatment. The program goes beyond its market counterparts and consists of two distinct stages. The first one will facilitate the assimilation of ambitious from a 100% online and interactive learning platform. The neurologist will complete this educational phase in 1,500 hours and will be advised by a prestigious and demanding faculty.

In a second didactic moment, the graduate will spend 3 weeks in a face-to-face clinical practice in first level hospitals. From this institution, he will be able to apply in a practical way the subjects received in the previous stage in real patients with different neurological pathologies. In addition, they will be supervised by an assistant tutor who will be in charge of helping them in their progress and involving them in comprehensive assistance dynamics. Throughout this period, the physician will exchange with experts of distinguished trajectory within this health care sector and will be able to turn to them to clarify doubts and concepts of interest. In turn, you won't have to settle for local or regional training options. Thanks to the wide network of agreements and partners at TECH's disposal, the neurologist may choose to complete this intensive stay in hospitals located in different continents.

Thanks to TECH, you will delve into the latest diagnostic procedures and indications for brain stimulation of patients with epilepsy." 

This Hybrid Master's Degree in Update on Neurophysiological Diagnosis and Treatment contains the most complete and up-to-date scientific program on the market. The most important features include: 

• Development of more than 100 clinical cases presented by of the neurophysiology professionals with a highly qualified in Diagnosis and brain pathologies Psychotherapeutic treatment Psychopharmacological treatment. 
• The graphic, schematic, and practical contents with which they are created, provide scientific and practical information on the disciplines that are essential for professional practice. 
• Patient assessment and monitoring based on upper and lower limb nerve response according to the latest international recommendations on the subject 
• Algorithm-, based interactive learning system for decision-making in the presented clinical situations. 
• All of this will be complemented by theoretical lessons, questions to the expert, debate forums on controversial topics, and individual reflection assignments.

• Furthermore, you will be able to carry out a clinical internship in one of the best hospital centers

The 3-week intensive stay included in this degree can be carried out in prestigious centers located in different latitudes of the planet"

In this proposed Master's program, of a professionalizing nature and blended learning modality, the program is aimed to up-to-date neurologists who wish to achieve a higher degree of qualification with respect to the handling of new equipment and techniques in this medical area. The contents are based on the latest scientific evidence, and oriented in a didactic way to integrate theoretical knowledge into medical practice, giving the professional the opportunity to have much more innovative work tools that facilitate the successful intervention of patients with various complexities. 

Thanks to their multimedia content developed with the latest educational technology, they will allow the Medicine professional to obtain situated and contextual learning, i.e. a simulated environment that will provide immersive learning programmed to train in real situations. This program is designed around Problem-Based Learning, whereby the physician must try to solve the different professional practice situations that arise during the course. For this purpose, students will be assisted by an innovative interactive video system created by renowned and experienced experts. 

This Hybrid Master's Degree will make you an expert in identifying pathologies such as Myasthenia Gravis, from electromyography and nerve conduction studies"

Enroll in TECH and you will learn more about how to prevent neuralgia or numbness in arms or legs through invasive neuromodulation"

This study program will lead the professional through several recently updated topics within the area of Neurophysiological Diagnosis and Treatment. In particular, he will delve into Brain Electrogenesis and its advantages for the detection of early epilepsies in the neonate or infant. Likewise, he will also go in depth on botulinum toxin infiltration with guidance and other techniques for therapeutic purposes. In turn, you will examine the latest trends in invasive and non-invasive Nueromodulation. For this learning, the doctor will rely on revolutionary teaching methods such as Relearning, which enhances the rapid and flexible assimilation of the most complex content.
