Throughout 1,500 hours you will achieve a rigorous and intensive mastery of the most advanced tools and work protocols for the professional practice of Primary Care Nursing"

In recent years, the role of nurses has gained greater prominence in primary care health services. This is due, among other reasons, to the fact that these professionals must assume rigorous tasks such as disease prevention through epidemiological surveillance in the communities. At the same time, scientific and research innovation has provided these professionals with new tools for early identification of risk factors and the development of interventions to promote more effective health strategies. Remote monitoring tools, digital medical records, among others, have become valuable allies for those working in this field. However, those who work in this field rarely manage to keep up to date with the main advances and new working models available to them.

In this context, TECH provides a program where students will be able to update their theoretical and practical knowledge on the main advances in Primary Care Nursing.
