ForwardTeam Training 2025
Overview
Welcome to Team Training for Parkinson's 2025.
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) and build capacity to provide comprehensive, interprofessional care, and team management strategies and improve care 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.
Parkinson's Foundation Team Training has online and LIVE portions. The online pre-requisite courses will be approximately 3.5 hours long.
The live days will take place in Denver, CO on October 20-22, 2025. You must complete the online pre-requisite material and the live days in their entirety to successfully pass this course.
