Thanks to this 100% online program, you will carry out health promotion and education campaigns aimed at different audiences”

Public Health Surveillance is a fundamental aspect of identifying and controlling infectious and chronic diseases globally. In this regard, a recent World Health Organization report reveals that approximately 1.5 million people have died from Tuberculosis in recent years. 

This underlines the importance of effective surveillance for its control. 

In this regard, nurses play a key role in the collection and analysis of epidemiological data. They must therefore interpret this information accurately to understand disease dynamics and plan effective care.  

In this scenario, TECH implements a pioneering program in Public Health Surveillance for Nursing.

The academic itinerary will delve into the management of the most innovative self-monitoring systems, paying attention to factors such as critical control points, the establishment of preventive protocols or risk assessment. Likewise, the syllabus will delve into the procedures that nurses must follow when faced with alerts, epidemic outbreaks and emergencies. The didactic materials will also analyze a variety of techniques to prevent both communicable and non-communicable diseases, with emphasis on cancer. In this way, graduates will develop advanced competencies to monitor the status of individuals and plan programs to promote optimal Public Health. 

In addition, the program is delivered entirely online so that nurses can customize their study time. In addition, TECH employs its innovative learning system: Relearning. This allows professionals to consolidate the concepts of the syllabus in a progressive and natural way, without the need to resort to costly techniques such as traditional memorization. 

To access the Virtual Campus, all they need is an electronic device with an Internet connection. In this way, graduates will be able to enjoy the most dynamic educational resources on the market and experience a significant quality leap in their professional careers.
