From Neurodevelopmental Disorders such as Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD)\, Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorders (ADHD)\, other Intellectual Disabilities (ID) through common healthcare comorbidities like Cancer\, Hemophilia\, Diabetes\, Alzheimer’s\, Dementia\, blindness\, and advanced systemic disease. Many of these patients fall through the cracks in a normal healthcare delivery system as judged to be too difficult to manage and are often left to be forgotten about. Too often these patients have no alternative except for care under General Anesthesia at a great risk. This course will provide you an oversight of these conditions and care options for any practitioner to competently provide them care. From desensitization techniques and billing codes\, you will learn to successfully manage many of these patients in your practice. \nProtocol Presentations 4/10/27 \nRegistration:\nTuition for 2026 is $7\,100 payable in 2 payments (November 1\, 2025 & February 1\, 2026).To sign up\, please email Terri.
