Team Training 2026

Reston, VA US
October 19, 2026 to October 21, 2026

Welcome to Team Training 2026.

Parkinson’s Foundation Team Training is a 3-day intensive course designed by the Parkinson’s Foundation to increase knowledge about Parkinson’s disease (PD) while building capacity to provide comprehensive, improved interprofessional care and team management strategies throughout the progression of the disease. Team Training provides participating health professionals with a unique opportunity to build a strong network as they are trained to deliver the best Parkinson’s care on both a national and regional level, including rural areas in need of a network of care.

We expect this to be a highly informative training experience. You will have opportunities for interactive learning with other disciplines and a chance to gain practical applied knowledge both in the assessment and treatment of Parkinson's disease and in team development strategies.

Trainees are responsible for their own travel, transportation, hotel arrangements, and non-conference food.

The live days will take place in Reston, VA on October 19th, 20th, and 21st.
