To develop a comprehensive approach that includes familial risk detection, prevention, reproductive intervention and other aspects that require the most advanced knowledge in Clinical Genetics of Neurological Diseases"

In recent years, the use of massive sequencing has exponentially increased the findings of variants in the genome that will provide a basis for expanding the understanding of many inherited neurological diseases.

In this module we will provide a detailed approach to the different genetic diseases affecting both the central and peripheral nervous system. We will deepen our knowledge of diseases such as myopathies, peripheral neuropathies, early dementias and cerebrovascular diseases. The module will have a theoretical text and an exposition of clinical cases of each pathology. 

Acquire the most interesting advances in Clinical Genetics and bring to your professional practice a plus of excellence that will open new professional paths"

This postgraduate certificate in Clinical Genetics of Neurological Diseases offers you the characteristics of a high level scientific, teaching and technological course. These are some of its most notable features:

• Latest technology in online teaching software
• Highly visual teaching system, supported by graphic and schematic contents that are easy to assimilate and understand  
• Practical cases presented by practising experts
• State-of-the-art interactive video systems
• Teaching supported by telepractice
• Continuous updating and recycling systems
• Autonomous learning: full compatibility with other occupations
• Practical exercises for self-evaluation and learning verification
• Support groups and educational synergies: questions to the expert, debate and knowledge forums
• Communication with the teacher and individual reflection work
• Content that is accessible from any fixed or portable device with an Internet connection
• Supplementary documentation databases are permanently available, even after the course

A specialization that masterfully combines intensity and flexibility, making its objectives easily and comfortably achievable by the professional"

This program has been developed by professionals from different Clinical Genetics offices in which they contribute their experience in daily practice, in the care of patients and families with a variety of hereditary disorders, both in genetic counseling and in prevention programs and prenatal and preconception counseling. The faculty involved in the course also carries out important research tasks relevant to the field of Genetics. 

The course program addresses in its different modules the basic and necessary knowledge for the management of patients and their diseases in a Clinical Genetics practice. It offers a practical approach to the different techniques most commonly used for the diagnosis of hereditary diseases, as well as the interpretation of their results. It also offers an approach to the diseases that motivate the largest number of consultations in daily practice in the field of Clinical Genetics. 

The course contains a theoretical text of the subject to be addressed, practical examples extracted from clinical cases that will help the understanding and deepening of knowledge.

Learn to work with the most advanced genetic tools, and take a step ahead of the needs that the labor market will increasingly demand from medical professionals"

The basic and necessary knowledge for the management of patients and their diseases in a Clinical Genetics practice"

Currently not all hospitals have genetics units, and it is foreseeable that all healthcare centers will have genetics units in the coming years. Students in this program will deepen the knowledge required to work as clinical geneticists both in the field of diagnosis and counseling in these units, or to be part of multidisciplinary groups of medical services, where patients with hereditary diseases are treated. 

It acquires in just a few weeks, the ability of genetics to intervene in the treatment of neurological diseases, many of which are of low incidence"
