Hybrid Events - In-Person CME/CE Event & Live Webinar Loews Chicago O'Hare Hotel 5300 N River Rd, Rosemont, IL 60018
This conference will focus on the latest evidence-based treatments for managing primary headache disorders; addressing key topics such as disease education, diagnosis, medication management, and current treatment options. Special emphasis will be placed on empowering Advanced Practice Providers (APPs) who manage headache patients, helping them work to the full scope of their licenses and certifications. The goal is to equip APPs with the knowledge, skills, and confidence to effectively care for headache patients and thrive as independent practitioners, whether in group practices or running their own clinics. Attendees will gain valuable insights from successful APPs in the field, as well as practice administrators and medical directors who have played a key role in advancing the role of APPs in headache management.
