Improve your clinical practice with pharmacovigilance programs and prescription quality indicators that you will see by taking this postgraduate certificate in Geriatric Rheumatic Patient Approach"

The specialized care of geriatric patients with rheumatic diseases is a matter of vital importance in the field of medicine, since this population presents a series of particularities and special needs that must be adequately addressed. With the aging of the population, more and more elderly people require care for this type of diseases, so it is necessary to have qualified professionals in this area.

This is why TECH presents this postgraduate certificate in Geriatric Rheumatic Patient Approach, which aims to provide health professionals with the necessary tools for proper and effective management of this population. This program will address topics such as the physiology of aging, demography and epidemiology of aging, medical assessment and complementary tests in the elderly, comprehensive geriatric assessment, among others.

In addition, during this program, participants will acquire fundamental knowledge about rheumatic diseases in the geriatric population, their diagnosis, treatment and follow-up. Also, topics related to pharmacotherapy in the elderly patient, geriatric syndromes and the importance of physical exercise in aging will be addressed.

The postgraduate certificate is a 100% online program where the graduate, through multimedia didactic material, complementary readings and simulations of clinical case studies, will delve into aging, the most frequent diseases, as well as advances in diagnostic techniques and pharmacological and non-pharmacological treatments. All of them, from a theoretical-practical perspective and a pedagogical methodology that moves away from long hours of study, the Relearning system.
