This training will generate a sense of confidence in the performance of healthcare praxis, which will help you grow personally and professionally"

New infectious diseases are emerging all the time, joining those already known and for which new treatments must be found to cure them. Sometimes, the symptoms of these diseases are so severe and unknown that patients go directly to the Emergency Department, where nurses must deal with cases of great relevance and for which they need a higher training.  

For this reason, TECH has proposed this specialization of the highest academic level, specifically for nurses, which deals with respiratory and cardiovascular pathologies. Thus, a program has been developed that includes the classic aspects in the management of infectious pathology by apparatus or organs, but also new items that are essential for the correct management of infectious diseases in the current scenario of globalization of health.  

Thus, we will deal with the management of infectious diseases in Emergency Departments from the point of view of early diagnosis and treatment, often empirical, but we will also include an update on imported pathology, especially in those entities that require urgent action and/or present a potential transmission capacity in our environment.  

Likewise, we will dedicate an important part of our educational program to the concept of risk prevention, derived from the care of infectious diseases, both for health personnel and the population, delving into the measures that can be adopted in the Emergency Department to minimize them.  

On the other hand, being a 100% online training, the professional will have the ability to decide when and from where to study, without commitments or obligations, thus being able to combine their study time with the rest of their daily obligations.  

Increase your training in the treatment of people with Respiratory and Cardiovascular Infections in a comfortable way and with all the guarantees of obtaining a quality and up-to-date specialization"
