Get up-to-date with TECH in the medical and surgical procedures of Hand and Brachial Plexus nerve pathology”

In the last decades more precise diagnostic techniques have been developed to detect nerve lesions such as electromyography or magnetic resonance imaging. At the same time, the existing scientific literature has made it possible to verify the effectiveness of new pharmacological treatments or the impulse of cell therapy. 

A scenario that leads specialists to incorporate in their daily practice the most notorious advances in evaluation, intervention and rehabilitation procedures in patients with this type of conditions. For this reason, this 6-week postgraduate certificate in Nerve Injuries of the Hand and Brachial Plexus has been created. 

It is an intensive program of 150 teaching hours that allows the graduate to be aware of clinical examination methods, converting treatments for nerve decompression, nerve repair procedures or the Supercharge concept. In addition, thanks to the video summaries, detailed videos or clinical cases, it will allow you to delve into the therapeutic management of the Brachial Plexus.

This is an excellent opportunity to update your knowledge through a program that students can take whenever and wherever they want. You only need a cell phone, tablet or computer with internet connection to view, at any time of the day, its content. A first level academic option that is at the academic forefront.
