TECH offers you a unique academic experience that will allow you to be up to date in Advanced Neuropharmacology, without neglecting your personal responsibilities”

Patients suffering from pathologies with a high incidence such as Epilepsy, frequent Migraine or the autoimmune disease Myasthenia Gravis have found in pharmacological advances important advances in their treatments and diagnoses. In this sense, studies on neurological diseases have made it possible to improve the quality of life of the people who suffer from them and to incorporate the most relevant advances into clinical practice.

In this context, pharmacists, especially those in hospital environments, must be aware of the most notorious progress, the techniques used for patient management and the pharmacology used. Thus, this 6-month Postgraduate diploma in Advanced Neuropharmacology was born.

It is an intensive program that provides students with advanced information on the pathophysiology and drugs used for the main diseases affecting the Central Nervous System, as well as those used for seizures and headaches. Likewise, special emphasis will be placed on treatments for surgical and polytraumatized patients.

To achieve this update, the graduates have at their disposal video summaries of each topic, in in focus videos, case studies and specialized readings to further extend the information provided in this syllabus.

Undoubtedly, a unique opportunity to get a quality update through a convenient and flexible academic proposal. The pharmacist only needs a mobile device, tablet or computer with Internet connection to view the content hosted on the virtual platform at any time of the day. An ideal option for those seeking to reconcile their daily activities with a cutting-edge program.

Thanks to the Relearning method you will be able to reduce the long hours of study and consolidate the concepts addressed in less time”

This Postgraduate diploma in Advanced Neuropharmacology contains the most complete and up-to-date scientific program on the market. The most important features include:

• The development of practical cases presented by experts in Pharmacy, Hospital Management, among others
