One of the most rewarding aspects of a career in health care is that as practitioners we are always learning.  The more we learn, the more our patients benefit.  Toward that end, you can deepen your understanding of diagnosis and learn new treatment skills at National University’s 2012 Homecoming in the following presentations:

He has taught at University of North Carolina, Harvard Medical School and Southern Denmark University, and is currently an associate professor at the University of New England. Dr. Bove offers an understanding of the underlying mechanisms of radiating pain, which allows for more accurate diagnosis and therefore better treatment and prognostic outlook.  This session will provide health care practitioners with an advanced understanding of the different presentations of radiating pain.
