Get fully trained in one of the most in-demand fields of medical work and be the physician every hospital would want to have" 

All human body organs are innervated by the autonomic nervous system, so there are diseases of this system that have a significant negative impact on the independence of the patient who suffers from them. Such dysfunctions can present unique clinical difficulties and repercussions, and therefore require appropriately educated practitioners to address them. 

This medical challenge, ranging from parkinsonian syndromes to multisystem atrophies or cerebellar ataxias, is a major obstacle for all professionals who have not acquired the relevant specialization, being a highly valued part of any healthcare team given the severity and common frequency of these pathologies. 

Therefore, TECH presents this postgraduate diploma in Neurophysiological Techniques and Protocols in the Assessment of Neuromuscular, Autonomic and Pain Conditions as a way of professional growth for any physician seeking a higher specialization. Thanks to the knowledge acquired during this degree, the graduate will effectively address all kinds of pathologies related to the autonomic nervous system, knowing the diagnoses and protocols applicable to each particular case. 

A unique educational program in which, in addition, the student enjoys total freedom to take on the course load at his or her own pace. Without classes or classroom requirements, the student can download the entire syllabus from any device with an internet connection and study it at his or her own pace and interests.  

Leave behind archaic, face-to-face teaching to join a program that understands your professional and personal needs" 

This postgraduate diploma in Neurophysiological Techniques and Protocols in the Assessment of Neuromuscular, Autonomic and Pain Conditions contains the most complete and up to date scientific program on the market. The most important features include: 

• The development of case studies presented by physicians with expertise in neurophysiology
• The graphic, schematic, and eminently practical contents with which they are created, provide scientific and practical information on the disciplines that are essential for professional practice
• Practical exercises where the self-assessment process can be carried out to improve learning 
• Its special emphasis on innovative methodologies  
• Theoretical lessons, questions to the expert, debate forums on controversial topics, and individual reflection assignments 
• Access to content from any fixed or portable device with an Internet connection

This is your great opportunity to grow professionally in a very specific medical field, supported by the best experts in neurophysiology"     

The program’s teaching staff includes professionals from the sector who contribute their work experience to this training program, as well as renowned specialists from leading societies and prestigious universities.  

The multimedia content, developed with the latest educational technology, will provide the professional with situated and contextual learning, i.e., a simulated environment that will provide immersive training programmed to train in real situations.  

This program is designed around Problem Based Learning, whereby the professional must try to solve the different professional practice situations that arise during the academic year. For this purpose, the student will be assisted by an innovative interactive video system created by renowned and experienced experts.
