COURSE DESCRIPTION : Dr. Carrick will share his experiences in clinical practice and the outcomes of his published research. Participants will participate in an interactive 2-day experience where they will learn and apply skills through practicums designed to promote an ability to utilize current procedures in their practice. This symposium is a blended learning program of lecture and hands on learning that is exciting and fun.
Participants will be active learners and are expected to be able to utilize the information learned based upon:
- Understanding, examination, and treatment of Brain Function
- Understanding, examination, and treatment of the Autonomic Nervous System
- Understanding, examination, and treatment of Neurodegeneration
Understanding, examination, and treatment of Movement Disorders
