Program Details
ATTP Intensive
Allied Team Training for Parkinson (ATTP) is a combination of online courses and an intensive 3.5 day curriculum designed to change the way Parkinson's care is delivered. Re-design of the program reflects the needs of today's busy clinician. The on-line educational portion ensures that trainees receive a solid foundation in the pathophysiology and clinical care of Parkinson's disease. The 3.5 day conference places greater emphasis on the innovation and collaboration necessary for state-of-the-art programming. Active learning is promoted through case-based interdisciplinary discussions, interactive workshops, small group discipline-specific sessions and illustrative experiences from panels of people with Parkinson's disease and care partners.
