Calling all healthcare professionals! CurePSP and the Parkinson's Foundation invite you to join us for Advanced Team Training, an in-person course focused on interprofessional care for people with atypical Parkinsonism held on October 25-26, 2024 in Minneapolis, MN. This accredited educational program will advance knowledge and skills in team collaboration, optimal assessments and best practices in treatments for individuals living with PSP, CBD and MSA. *Advanced Team Training is for clinicians who have attended a Parkinson’s Foundation Team Training in the past. If you have not attended in the past, a general Team Training will be held the three days prior to the Advanced Team Training at the same location in Minneapolis. If you are a person with PSP, CBD or MSA, please let your healthcare team know about this training. Visit Parkinson.org/TeamTraining for more information and registration. #CurePSP #ParkinsonsFoundation #AtypicalParkinsonism #PSP #CBD #MSA #Parkinsons #HealthcareProfessionals #NeurodegenerativeDisease #HealthcareTraining #MovementDisorders
