A professional master’s degree that takes place over 12 months, with 1,500 teaching hours of the most up-to-date knowledge in Clinical Neuropsychology"

The progress that has taken place in recent years in the field of Neuropsychology, has allowed progress in the detection of cognitive impairment at very early stages by means of differential diagnosis. In addition, its application in the evaluation of the effects of surgery in patients with epilepsy, hydrocephalus and tumors, has been tremendously useful, as well as in the adaptation of pharmacological treatments. Its positive influence and potential in improving the patient's quality of life have given this specialty a boost. It is for this reason that this 100% online degree was created, where a team of experts with extensive experience will develop an advanced and intensive syllabus on Clinical Neuropsychology

A multidisciplinary program that provides the medical professional with the most up-to-date information to keep abreast of the most recent scientific studies in the approach to patients with neurodegenerative diseases. Through innovative multimedia content, students will delve, during the 12 months of this program, into the principles of Neuroanatomy, with special emphasis on cognitive functions and the different types of neurobiological bases that are known today. It will also delve into brain damage and aphasia, agraphia and alexia, as well as cognitive deficits and neurodegenerative diseases. This teaching will also include the main techniques of neuropsychological evaluation and rehabilitation, concluding with an exhaustive review of the most effective pharmacological treatments, their recommendations and the cases in which they should be avoided

This is an excellent opportunity for medical professionals who wish to pursue a program that is compatible with their work and family life. Students only need a computer, tablet or cell phone to access the entire syllabus from the beginning of the program. In addition, all of this is done without on-site classes or fixed schedules, so you can distribute the workload according to your needs
