Do not wait any longer and access this theoretical and practical update that will elevate you to the status of a high-profile geriatric nurse with extensive professional capabilities”

The increasingly aging population presents the health sector with the challenge of providing the best care for all geriatric patients. Nursing staff is indispensable for these tasks. Furthermore, these professionals now rely on innovative tools that facilitate patient mobility, such as cranes and other locomotor assistance devices. At the same time, scientific advancements have been made in the development of more efficient protocols for the neurorehabilitation of older adults with signs of dementia, among other conditions. However, not all nurses manage to stay up to date on these advances. This is due to shortcomings in the educational market, where there is a plethora of programs that are poorly tailored to students’ knowledge needs and are not suited to their work schedules. 

This way, TECH has devised this Hybrid professional master’s degree in Geriatric Nursing. This qualification sets itself apart from any other in the market due to its hybrid format, where learning is divided into two fundamental stages. Firstly, the student will engage in a theoretical study period lasting approximately 1.500 hours. For this phase, they will use a platform with multiple interactive features and multimedia resources such as videos and infographics. Simultaneously, they will be supported by 100% online methodologies like Relearning , which will enhance their ability to quickly and flexibly grasp complex concepts.

Once this academic phase is completed, the nurse will have the opportunity to undertake high-level clinical practice at a hospital equipped with state-of-the-art healthcare resources. This intensive, in-person stay will last for 3 weeks, during which the student will handle cutting-edge health devices and procedures. These health resources will be applied to real patients, providing each graduate with an immersive experience to develop specific competencies. In addition, you will be accompanied throughout the internship by experts of great prestige and you will be able to clarify doubts and concepts of interest with an assistant tutor of distinguished professional trajectory.  profesional.
