Consulting

Continuing Education as conducted by Great Seminars imparts large amounts of evidence based material that directly impacts clinical care and decision making. It has been recently shown that continuing education is more effective if followed by a one on one intervention by a person proficient with the information. (Cleland, 2009) To that end, Great Seminars offers course participants the opportunity to hire consultants to work directly with their staff therapists. Below are the details.

Consulting services are as follows:

All consultants will need travel and accommodations paid by the facility. Great Seminars charges a $200 set up fee to coordinate the facility and the consultants. The consultant’s fee depends on the area of expertise and skill and experience of the consultant. More info about garage door companies in California you can find on www.radfordgaragedoor.com/ site.
