Expert Spine Care w/ Virtual Mentorship (1)

Pre-Requisite Course: 

Expert Clinical reasoning w/ Virtual Mentorship

This is a 20 hour hybrid online course. Approximately 16 hours total for online video and didactic content with an additional 4 hours of live mentored discussion/case work.

This course is a continuation of out Expert Clinical Reasoining Course where we take a deeper look at Spine related conditions from the Upper cervical spine to the Sacroiliac joint.
