Introduction to the Program

Actualiza tus estrategias asistenciales mediante la Medicina Nuclear con un Postgraduate certificate 100% online”

La administración de los radiofármacos empleados en la Medicina Nuclear requiere una atención meticulosa y precisa para evitar errores de dosificación y asegurar que los pacientes reciban la cantidad adecuada de radiación. Esto hace que la Enfermería se haya convertido en una profesión crucial en esta área, en la cual los enfermeros son los responsables de tratar con la mayor responsabilidad posible los materiales radioactivos.

Por este motivo, para estos profesionales es realmente importante actualizarse en este ámbito para asistir con mayor eficacia a los pacientes, además de para explicarles los riesgos y beneficios de estos tratamientos o brindarles apoyo emocional y psicológico durante el proceso. Bajo este contexto surge el presente Postgraduate certificate, que aborda las diferentes líneas de la Medicina Nuclear, desde estudios isotópicos del sistema musculoesquelético hasta estudios en Neurología, pasando por patología digestiva, endocrinología, cardiología y neumología. Además, el enfermero ahondará en la Gammagrafía ósea, salival, de tránsito esofágico, del vaciamiento gástrico y hepatoesplénica, aparte de recorrer las investigaciones isotópicas para el diagnóstico de patología tiroidea y paratiroidea.

Pero lo mejor es que el formato del programa es 100% online para que el alumno pueda actualizarse desde casa o cualquier lugar a su propio ritmo, siempre en función de sus necesidades y disponibilidad. Además, el título cuenta con un gran equipo docente formado por expertos en Medicina Nuclear y Enfermería, que aportará un soporte constante al estudiante. Sin duda, una oportunidad realmente valiosa que lanzará la carrera del enfermero hacia nuevas cotas.
