What Am I Missing: Difficult Cases

Zoom Webinar On-Demand

This 10-hour course, broken into five 2-hour lessons, teaches SLPs, RDHs, dentists, orthodontists, and other OMT providers how problem-solve and improve outcomes on difficult OMD cases.

This course is designed to help providers manage complex and long-term cases in a multidisciplinary way. Courses are kept small and instruction is customized to fit individual and group needs and current education and skill level.

Learning Outcomes:

1. Analyze and appraise patient history and response to treatment.

2. Critique and improve current differential diagnostic processes.

3. Develop or revise individualized treatment plans.
