In only 6 months you will be up-to-date in the diagnosis and approach of the main Pathologies Associated with Dysphagia"

In an increasingly aging society with a high level of stress, the occurrence of neurological diseases is becoming frequent. Some of them, such as Parkinson's disease, ALS, dementia or Multiple Sclerosis, result in difficulties in swallowing liquid or solid food. However, research studies in this area have provided patients with much more effective therapies and accurate assessment methods. 

At the same time, interdisciplinary work with other experts in fields such as speech therapy or psychology has increased therapeutic actions. In this evolving context, TECH has developed this 6-month Postgraduate diploma in Pathologies Associated with Dysphagia. 

A program that focuses on the etiology and diagnosis of Dysphagia, as well as the main advances of this disorder in patients with neurological conditions, warning signs or strategies to improve feeding. In addition, the students will delve into studies on psychogenic dysphagia, neuropsychological factors, its symptoms and the most effective recommendations for families.

Furthermore, in this updating process, the graduates have at their disposal a multitude of pedagogical tools such as video summaries of each topic, detailed videos, specialized readings and clinical case studies. In this context, this educational institution uses the Relearning method, based on the repetition of content, which allows the most important concepts to be reinforced and reduces the number of hours of study.

The professional is, in this way, facing an excellent opportunity to keep abreast of developments in this area through a flexible and convenient program.
