Attend an excellent headache course for health care providers in San Diego

January 11, 2023

Opportunities & Challenges in the Management of Headache is one of the two annual courses organized by the Diamond Headache Clinic Research & Educational Foundation. This year, it will be held in San Diego from February 16th through February 19th.

The other annual event, Headache Update 2023 will be held in Orlando, Fl from July 13th through July 16th. Both courses have been always well attended and have been receiving very high marks from the attendees.

It’s been my privilege to participate in these annual courses over the past 25 years. This year I will be speaking on February 17th on Nutritional Approaches and Alternative Therapies in Migraine.
