The program in Clinical Nutrition and Cardiovascular Pathologies at ICNS has been designed to provide a comprehensive study and approach to cardiovascular disease, both at the preventive level and in clinical treatment. It integrates an in-depth study of multiple pathologies with clinical treatment experience and real clinical cases collected in practice by the faculty. This new ICNS program includes a comprehensive and in-depth syllabus, delivered by professors with extensive expertise in metabolic health and evidence-based medicine, as well as clinical nutritionists, pharmacists, and physicians.
The training comprehensively addresses the main determinants of cardiovascular health, particularly ischemic disease—both its causes, often conceptualized in an overly reductionist and inadequate way, and its management in primary and secondary prevention. It also covers the non-pharmacological management of hypertension, providing a thorough understanding of its origins, as well as a broader view of cardiometabolic health, in addition to exploring clinical cases, among other aspects.
Recommended for physicians who treat patients with poor metabolic health (lipids, hypertension, etc.), cardiologists seeking to broaden their knowledge of nutrition and health from a more integrative perspective, nutritionists, and other healthcare professionals interested in metabolic health and the management of cardiovascular diseases. The program enables a comprehensive and in-depth approach and helps resolve the doubts generated by the often contradictory information surrounding nutrition.

This program is offered in an asynchronous online format, which means that classes do not have a fixed schedule.
However, the methodology of ICNS's asynchronous online programs is designed to be followed in a structured and continuous manner.
One class is released every two weeks, and there are deadlines for completing the assessments, requiring students to study consistently over time.
Students have full access to the virtual classroom at all times, where they can also contact professors directly.
ICNS's asynchronous online training is therefore delivered in a continuous format, which - based on our experience - leads to better learning outcomes and overall engagement compared to other approaches.
- The asynchronous online program follows a continuous learning methodology.
- All training is carried out through the virtual classroom, combining video lectures with reading the coursebook.
- Each class lasts 3-4 hours, and a new topic with its corresponding classes is released every two weeks.
- Each class includes a multiple-choice test, which must generally be completed within 30 days of the release of that topic.
- Students can ask the professors any questions through the virtual platform. A dedicated discussion thread is opened for each class topic.
Validity: both permanent training master's degrees and regulated master's degrees are eligible for scoring in public administration competitive exams and selection processes. The scoring of the training depends on the specific rules of each public process or employment pool.
Proprietary master's degrees have been renamed as permanent training master's degrees following the implementation of Royal Decree 822/2021.
Permanent training master's degrees and master's degrees leading to a PhD have different purposes, and both have advantages and disadvantages. Their main advantage is having more flexible regulations, which allow the design of curricula more oriented toward clinical practice, a more dynamic methodology, a greater variety of topics covered, and a design more focused on student needs. Permanent training master's degrees allow students to be trained in competencies aimed at clinical practice that are often not sufficiently addressed in regulated education.
Thanks to this, there is a greater variety of permanent training degrees that make it possible to offer more specific and comprehensive curricula. Master's degrees leading to a PhD have more structured programs, which limits flexibility in their design. For this reason, universities offer both types of programs to address different needs - whether the goal is to pursue a doctoral and research program in a specific area, or to expand professional competencies, in our case more oriented toward clinical practice.
