Asynchronous Courses
Our Asynchronous (Category B) courses aim to integrate the scientific and professional literature within a framework of practical application guided by clinical expertise. A course may include one or more Clinical Applications, or a Clinical Case Scenario, or both. All courses in this series offer interpretation of and clinical tips based on the resource material.
Courses in this series are not intended to provide a complete treatment program. For complete programs, see our Synchronous Courses, Clinical Cases.
