These include periodic case conferences, clinical topic reviews (e.g., spasticity management, complex pain strategies, frailty syndromes, rehabilitation optimization), grand rounds, and interdisciplinary learning discussions. We believe in developing excellent clinicians and invest in continued clinical growth across our organization.
