IN-DEPTH INSTRUCTIONAL COURSES

Instructional courses are half-day sessions held pre- and post-conference for an additional fee. The more you attend, the more you save! Choose between 23 courses and dig deep into special interest areas. Pile on the CME/CEU credits in your choice of 11 disciplines.

Perfect also for busy, local professionals who don’t have time to attend the full conference and patients and caregivers who need to know about the latest research impacting rehabilitation practice. A pre-conference instructional course is offered for neurodegenerative diseases:
