In just 6 weeks you will address Dysphagia in patients with dysarthria and aphasia" 

Neurological Dysphagia is a disorder that can manifest itself at any stage of life. However, in recent decades a prevalence has been noted in older people. This anomaly is associated with various congenital diseases, structural alterations and Neurological pathologies, being especially relevant in cases of Parkinson's, Multiple Sclerosis, Alzheimer's, among others.

This condition not only affects people's physical health, but also their emotional well-being and social participation, having a significant impact on their quality of life. Sufferers often avoid eating in public due to feelings of panic or anxiety, and a large proportion report that their food intake is lower than usual. In addition, this condition is associated with increased mortality, prolonged hospitalization times, dehydration and malnutrition.

In this sense, it is important for medical personnel to be up-to-date on the latest advances in this condition in order to make a proper diagnosis and take preventive measures to minimize these risks and guarantee safe food consumption. In response to this health need, TECH has developed this Postgraduate certificate in Neurological Dysphagia, which will allow the professional to be at the forefront in the impact, warning signs, management strategies, and guidelines to treat it.
