Knowing the mind of our elders is a must for all health professionals who are in frequent contact with them”

Nurses are people who must have extensive knowledge in different areas. Although their work as nurses can be considered to be equal, regardless of the area in which they develop, this is not entirely true, since the more specialized professionals are in their area of intervention, the more complete they will be and the better they will develop their work.

In this case, TECH has set out to improve the knowledge of nursing professionals in the evaluation and psychodiagnosis of old age, since nurses have direct and constant contact with elderly patients, so it is essential that they alert to any anomaly they may detect and, in addition, greater knowledge about the personality traits of patients will help them learn to manage them with full guarantees of success, and achieving the necessary confidence so that they feel protected with these professionals.

For this reason, TECH has designed this high quality Postgraduate diploma, created by leading professionals in the field and with the most updated content, so that professionals only have to put the desire to study.

In addition, being a 100% online specialization, nurses will be able to combine the study of this Postgraduate diploma with the rest of their daily obligations, choosing at all times where and when to study. A high-level qualification that will take nursing professionals to the highest level in their field of action.
