In addition to the 18 participants, faculty representatives for the Tourette Association included Douglas Woods, PhD, from Marquette University, Michael Himle, PhD, from the University of Utah, and Denise Walker, program manager of the Research and Medical Programs of the Tourette Association of America.
“It’s an honor for Rogers to be able to host this event, and numerous participants shared that this was one of the best trainings they’ve ever attended,” says Barry Thomet, Outreach representative, who has planned nearly 10 training events on this scale.
