Early Referral Training for Primary Care Providers
We've developed a new online training to teach primary care providers about the early symptoms of Parkinson's to support early referral to a neurologist or movement disorders specialist. The training also covers how early referral improves patient outcomes, increases clinical trial participation and advances equity in care.
