This year we are excited to present a post-conference course dedicated to physical therapy clinical skills and treatment planning for complex endometriosis cases. This workshop is in-person and virtual.
We are so excited to have an all-star group of presenters, an expert panel, and case dissection round tables where you can ask questions and discuss clinical reasoning!
The program will be available both in-person and on-demand with pre-reading videos and cases sent ahead for your preparation for the dynamic talks.
