To avoid patient resistance and abandonment of pharmacological treatments, mental health professionals need to transmit their knowledge in a simple way. In this regard, experts need to control the types of psychotropic drugs used in the treatment of EDs, as well as their mechanisms of action.  In this way, they will be able to prescribe the most appropriate treatments for pathologies such as personality disorders, among which schizophrenia stands out.

With the aim of providing specialists with a deeper understanding of the various treatments, TECH implements an innovative 100% online program. Under the supervision of an experienced teaching team, the academic itinerary will provide strategies to promote the acceptance of thoughts and emotions during therapies. 

In addition, the syllabus will analyze in depth the considerations in the prescription of psychotropic drugs. Therefore, graduates will be able to evaluate both the safety and efficacy of pharmacotherapy in EDs. The program will also delve into Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, through which students will develop intervention plans and specific changes.

It should be noted that the program is supported by the revolutionary Relearning teaching system.  This method consists of the repetition of key content, which will ensure that students have a natural and progressive learning. 
At the same time, it mixes the learning process with real situations so that knowledge is acquired in a natural and progressive way, without the extra effort.
