For CLINICS
Clinic management and staff training can make all the difference in Duchenne muscular dystrophy.
People who have Duchenne muscular dystrophy have multiple areas of need for evaluation and treatment. Healthcare professionals working with this diagnosis must not only understand Duchenne within their own scope of practice but must take into account how co-morbidities and pharmaceutical side effects will affect their plan of care.
A clinic, well prepared with staff who have advanced their education on Duchenne muscular dystrophy is invaluable to these patients. There are new discoveries and changing standards of care in this field all the time and it can be difficult to maintain up-to-date information for clinic staff. CureDuchenne continues to offer in-person and online training modules to help allied healthcare professionals seeking a greater and more current understanding of this diagnosis and proper treatment options.
