 #  Special Programs 

 

   

   ![Woman presenting research](/sites/default/files/styles/no_sizing/public/images/inpersonlearning.jpg?itok=X5PkezDn)  Working alongside healthcare professionals, we further our commitment to improve care for people with Parkinson's disease (PD).

Parkinson’s Foundation in-person learning experiences provide dynamic, interactive experiences that focus on best-practice care training. We cover the latest Parkinson’s information and educational tools from an interdisciplinary care perspective.

Special programs are typically a combination of synchronous and asynchronous courses that could be virtual or hybrid.
