Research in Epidemiology has become an essential aspect in understanding the determinants of health in the population, as well as in the formulation of effective Public Health policies and strategies. In this sense, nurses play an active role in the interpretation of the results of epidemiological studies. In this way, professionals can translate scientific findings into practical recommendations to improve patient care, develop effective public health policies and design health promotion interventions.  

Within this framework, TECH has created a revolutionary and comprehensive program in Public Health Epidemiology Research Methodology for Nursing. The academic itinerary will delve into the Biostatistics taking into account aspects such as types of variables, identification of statistical tests or confounding factors. Likewise, the syllabus will provide graduates with the most effective computer software to carry out statistical analysis. In this way, graduates will develop skills to skillfully handle tools such as STATA® to analyze epidemiological data. In line with this, the program will delve into the different phases of qualitative research in Public Health. Therefore, nurses will be able to adequately identify the most appropriate qualitative methods to appreciate complex phenomena related to the welfare of the population. 

On the other hand, the present university program is 100% online, providing professionals the necessary flexibility to adapt to their schedules. In addition, 
TECH's exclusive Relearning system will provide nurses with an effective and rigorous update.
