Thanks to this 100% online program, you will evaluate Public Health Policies and implement disease prevention programs effectively"

Public Health is an essential component of Nursing practice, as it provides a framework for the promotion of health, the prevention of pathologies and the improvement of community well-being. In this regard, nurses are an important asset in educating people about risk factors for chronic pathologies such as cardiovascular disease. For example, they carry out campaigns aimed at diabetics to help them control their glucose levels and raise awareness of the importance of maintaining a balanced diet.  In order to optimize their practice, these professionals need to update their knowledge on a regular basis to keep abreast of new scientific evidence in this field.  

To help them with this task, TECH implements a pioneering and comprehensive program in Public Health for Nursing. Designed by experts in this field, the academic itinerary will delve into the design and implementation of health protection programs. Likewise, the syllabus will delve into the Epidemiology of Communicable Diseases, focusing on aspects such as causal agents, time periods and surveillance systems. In addition, the didactic materials will provide graduates with the most creative techniques to generate innovative health promotion campaigns that will capture the attention of individuals. In this way, nurses will acquire the skills to assume leadership roles in public health policy, promoting positive changes in society.
