Continuing Education:
MedBridge:
Workwell Foundation and MedBridge have partnered to provide accredited online courses on the topic of ME/CFS for rehabilitation professionals including physical, occupational and speech therapists as well as nurses and other health care providers. The courses are presented by Todd Davenport DPT, Mark VanNess Ph.D and Staci Stevens MA, who are leading experts in the field.Use promo code WORKWELL when purchasing courses for a discounted annual MedBridge subscription of $225 (regularly $375).
Todd Davenport presents an overview of important symptomatic and functional similarities between ME and long COVID, as well as a model for clinical management of long COVID based on our collective understanding of ME. Insights from people living with long COVID are provided to include patients’ perspectives as a prominent part of the course material.
