With the ever-growing therapeutic indications for toxin treatment, increasing numbers of available toxins, and the potential dangers and pitfalls if toxin injections are performed sub-optimally, there is a clear need for a comprehensive training of toxin injection. The clear educational need is for a thorough and intensive training that incorporates balanced and comprehensive didactic lectures, the opportunity to ask questions on uncertain areas, patient demonstrations, and true assessment of understanding of concepts and readiness for injection. This comprehensive course will provide the practicing clinician or clinician-in-training the necessary knowledge needed to competently utilize all types of botulinum toxins, including the use of EMG and ultrasound, all adult and pediatric neurological indications. The course also features toxin injection demonstrations on patients and the opportunity to interact with North American thought-leaders in dystonia and toxin injections with reputations for being exemplary educators.
