Through this Postgraduate certificate, based on Relearning, you will apply the most avant-garde strategies of health promotion to promote healthy lifestyles and prevent pathologies in the community”

Nursing personnel play a key role in disease prevention at the international level, from the promotion of vaccination to education on healthy lifestyles. In this sense, professionals have the responsibility to raise awareness among citizens about the importance of adopting habits such as a balanced diet or regular exercise to optimize their state of health. However, this requires nurses to remain at the forefront of primary prevention practices with the aim of reducing individuals' risk of chronic diseases such as Diabetes, Cancer and even cardiovascular conditions.

Against this backdrop, TECH has created a pioneering and comprehensive Postgraduate certificate in Disease Prevention in Public Health for Nursing. The academic itinerary will analyze the main risk factors of a wide range of pathologies, among which rare diseases or immunopreventable infections stand out. Therefore, graduates will acquire advanced skills to analyze the health status of citizens. Along the same lines, the syllabus will delve into the main emerging pathologies (including epidemic outbreaks) and will delve into subjects such as the International Health Regulations. Thanks to this, nurses will carry out innovative strategies to prevent pathologies in the community.

As for the methodology of this university program, it is taught in a convenient 100% online mode to give nurses the flexibility to plan their schedules individually. In addition, TECH employs its disruptive Relearning learning methodology, based on the repetition of key concepts to lock in knowledge.

 This will ensure that professionals enjoy progressive learning that is both natural and long-lasting. This combination of accessibility and innovative pedagogical approach will ensure that graduates acquire practical skills to optimize both their clinical care and their clinical work.
