The basic approach is a step-by-step analysis that determines the specific diagnostics a practitioner can take to make each visit a unique teaching opportunity. You will learn a more effective plan of attack for the treatment of each individual patient with their specific needs in mind and not just a ‘cookie cutter’ approach to patient management.

Group discussion will follow each segment and will be moderated by WCA Executive Director Russ Leonard who will share “best practice” strategies for each of these complex problems.
