The Steve Gleason Institute for Neuroscience, part of Washington State University, has developed a seven-part continuing medical education (CME) series aimed at providing healthcare providers well informed and empathetic care for people with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). The on-demand online courses include narratives from real families dealing with ALS and presentations from experts in the field. “Health care providers, speech-language pathologists, and occupational and physical therapists can gain a unique skill set and understanding of ALS,” said Ken Isaacs, director of the Steven Gleason Institute for Neuroscience. “This comprehensive series delivers elevated and impactful professional development to health providers on all fronts.” Participants have the flexibility to tailor their learning to get a broad understanding of ALS biology, diagnostics, treatments, and therapeutic advances, with CME credit available through the Elson S. Floyd College of Medicine.
