Nursing Master in Dialysis Therapies

The first-level Nursing Master in Dialysis Therapies is offered by the Department of Translational Medical Sciences of the University of Campania Luigi Vanvitelli. It includes theoretical and practical teaching activities, exercises and clinical internships, with a focus on the advanced management of dialysis therapies, operational methods, decision-making ability, emergency management and national and international guidelines. The pathway is aimed at those who wish to deepen and update their skills, with a structure that links theoretical reflection to concrete applications in the relevant professional context.

The master lasts one academic year, is worth 60 credits and is taught in person in Naples, with a compulsory minimum attendance of 75%. The language is Italian, implicit. Internships are included in the pathway.

The aim is to train highly specialised nurses in dialysis therapies, integrating theoretical knowledge, practical training and multidisciplinary work. The career opportunities indicated are specialisation in the dialysis sector and roles of greater responsibility in nephrology wards and dialysis units. Upon completion, those who successfully finish the pathway obtain the qualification provided and can use the skills acquired in their own professional field or in further study. Concrete prospects nevertheless depend on each participant's starting profile and experience. Those who work should carefully assess the commitment required, in terms of weekly hours and attendance, to understand whether the programme is compatible with other professional or personal commitments.
