With this 100% online Postgraduate certificate, you will be able to perform accurate assessments of vocal function, identify specific disorders and apply treatments based on the latest scientific evidence” 

According to the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association, vocal disorders affect approximately 30% of the population at some point in their lives, with a notable increase in cases related to excessive use of the voice in work and educational settings. As a result, treatment techniques have evolved, incorporating evidence-based therapies, such as personalized vocal therapy and vocal retraining exercises. 

Therefore, this Postgraduate certificate is born, which will provide nurses with the necessary skills for a comprehensive assessment of vocal function in their daily clinical practice. In this sense, they will be able to perform a complete evaluation, including the identification of vocal alterations through advanced diagnostic tools such as laryngoscopy and acoustic analysis. 

They will also focus on the importance of knowing and distinguishing vocal features and different types of voices to identify which aspects are altered, crucial to recognize specific vocal patterns that may indicate the presence of disorders. In addition, they will delve into current diagnostic and treatment techniques, developing a rigorous, evidence-based approach to address a wide range of vocal pathologies. 

Finally, the resolution of real case studies will be covered, using current therapeutic approaches and scientific evidence. It will also emphasize the importance of seeing the voice, not only as an exclusive act of the phonatory system, but as a global ability of the individual that requires care and attention. In this way, professionals will be able to apply different treatment approaches and raise awareness of the need for proper vocal care. 

In this way, TECH has launched a comprehensive and fully online program, which will allow graduates to access at any time and from anywhere, as long as they have an electronic device with an Internet connection. Additionally, the innovative Relearning learning methodology will be used, which focuses on the repetition of essential concepts to achieve a deep and natural understanding of the content.
