VWD Educational Webinars and Recordings
VWD Educational Webinars and Recordings
Recording sessions during our in-person programs, and hosting entirely-virtual events has allowed us to provide high-quality education, support, and advocacy to our community when meeting in-person was impossible or challenging–whether that is caused by a global pandemic or living in a remote geographic area. Sharing virtual recordings also allows members of our community to get involved and stay educated at any time, regardless of their location.
Topics include:
- Advances in diagnosis and management
- Managing pain alternatively
- The evolution of care and treatment
