And so they get worse, every day.

These patients need you NOW.

"The instructors were both so knowledgeable, enthusiastic, and supportive! They provided a great survey of evidence where it is available. When the evidence is emerging, they provided clear guidance on clinical reasoning based on first principles, clinical experience, and a realistic balance between the risk of harm from both over and undertreatment. The instructors didn't shy away from difficult scenarios and provided a ton of information to help the participants be more confident, safe, and effective in the clinic immediately. One of the best courses I've taken!"
