Introduction to the Program

The new scenarios in Sleep Medicine push us to propose new update programs that meet the real needs of experienced professionals, so that they can incorporate current advances into their daily practice"

There is a growing multidisciplinary interest in Sleep Medicine, a discipline in frank expansion, whether it is approached from a global point of view or from the "partial specialization", depending on the original health field or specific area of interest, in all cases, a rigorous and updated generic knowledge in all its fields is vital. This Postgraduate certificate more than fulfils this objective from an eminently practical point of view. Its approach sets it apart from many other programs on this very transverse discipline, which are often criticised for being too "descriptive" and "theoretical", and therefore not entirely useful in resolving many situations that arise in clinical management. 

The student will become familiar with new developments in the diagnosis and significance of the emerging REM sleep behavior disorder. In a clear and didactic way, you will acquire skills in the novel, yet little known, field of sleep-wake dissociation and its most extreme typology. All of the above with the invaluable support of appropriate graphic and audiovisual material provided by the expert authors of this Postgraduate certificate. 

In the field of movement disorders during sleep, without being exclusive, the program facilitates the student, in a didactic way, the understanding and management of the most burning points of the very frequent, misunderstood and incorrectly treated restless legs syndrome (or Willis-Ekbom disease), one of the most prevalent entities in Sleep Medicine, only behind insomnia and sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome. 

With the clear objective of combining scientific evidence and practical utility, this Diploma in Behavioral and Movement Disorders During Sleep in Adults has a broad, updated and unbeatable program, prepared by a varied team of professional experts (physicians, psychologists, biologists, engineers, etc.) who provide their proven experience in the form of explanations and practical examples, entertaining, clarifying and abundant support, graphic-audiovisual, absolutely essential in the teaching of this thriving discipline. 

In addition, this program's degree has the advantage of being developed in a 100% online format, so students will be in charge of deciding when and where to study, distributing their study hours to suit them, so that they can combine their studying with the rest of their daily commitments.
