La apnea obstructiva del sueño es un trastorno respiratorio del sueño que por su alta prevalencia en el mundo, se ha convertido en un serio problema de salud pública en diversos países. A esta alta prevalencia, se suma el alto porcentaje de sub-diagnóstico y las consecuencias originadas por la falta de tratamiento y los transtornos generados al momento de dormir, representadas por accidentes de tránsito, accidentes laborales, problemas neurocognitivos, alteraciones metabólicas, enfermedades cardiovasculares y problemas de aprendizaje y de atención en niños. El diagnóstico y tratamiento de la apnea del sueño deben ser abordados por un equipo multidisciplinario donde participan varios especialistas de las áreas de medicina, odontología y otros profesionales de la salud. El objetivo general de este curso en línea es incrementar el conocimiento de los profesionales de la salud en el diagnóstico y tratamiento integral de pacientes con apnea obstructiva del sueño (AOS). Los avances tecnológicos son un aliado para combatir este trastorno respiratorio.
An excellent online course offered by edX: how it works
edX courses consist of weekly learning sequences. Each learning sequence is composed of short videos interspersed with interactive learning exercises, where students can immediately practise the concepts from the videos. The courses often include tutorial videos that are similar to small on-campus discussion groups, an online textbook, and an online discussion forum where students can post and review questions and comments to each other and teaching assistants. Where applicable, online laboratories are incorporated into the course.
edX offers certificates of successful completion and some courses are credit-eligible. Whether or not a college or university offers credit for an online course is within the sole discretion of the school. edX offers a variety of ways to take courses, including verified courses where students have the option to audit the course (no cost) or to work toward an edX Verified Certificate (fees vary by course). edX also offers XSeries Certificates for completion of a bundled set of two to seven verified courses in a single subject (cost varies depending on the courses).
