The Breathe Course
About This Event
The Breathe Course is a dynamic learning experience covering the Research, Clinical Protocols, Diagnostics, and Management of Sleep Disorder Breathing & Tongue-Tie Disorders. This course includes 16 hours of live lecture with Dr. Soroush Zaghi, 8 hours of discussion with Dr. Zaghi and the TBI team, and 6 hours of online workshops with the TBI team including myofunctional therapy, suture training, and practice management. Participants will learn about the impacts and treatment options for tethered oral tissues and sleep disordered breathing in children and adults, along with new content on innate immunity and best practices in telemedicine.
