This program is a comprehensive overview of the current state of Headache Medicine. This program focuses on an in-depth consideration of specific headache and facial pain topics, with a focus on the most common primary and secondary headache disorders. It is designed to provide more clinically useful detail than a typical continuing medical education program in which a single lecture on headache would be included among lectures on other topics. The course is designed to enable attendees to enhance their clinical and research skills by gaining knowledge in the latest concepts concerning diagnosis, treatment, and mechanisms of the primary and secondary headache disorders.
Target Audience
This program is designed to educate practitioners who have an interest in the diagnosis and management of headache disorders. These include neurologists, primary care providers, dentists, psychologists, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, physical therapists, and other health care providers with an interest in Headache Medicine.
