Description
Each month, Centre for Integrative Health will host an expert to speak on a topic of co-morbidity or a minority population in hope of furthering the clinic’s understanding of how best to work with some of the complex and unique cases that present to our clinic.
In an effort to share resources and information, we are opening each of these professional development sessions up to an additional 5 external practitioners.
