Dr. Edwin A Salsitz, DFASAM, is the chair and presenter for the ASAM ER/LA Opioid REMS course. Led by Dr. Salsitz, the course provided information to medical professionals about handling the Opioid Epidemic. Click Here to learn more about the ASAM ER/LA Opioid REMS course

The Annual meeting of the Clinical TMS Society provides a unique opportunity for you to connect with an international gathering of TMS providers and researchers. Dr. Davila is pictured with Dr. Mark George, led research that allowed TMS to be FDA approved for MDD. Click Here to learn more about the Clinical TMS Society.

Dr. Davila went to Harvard to receive continued training for noninvasive brain stimulation for treatment of neuropsychiatric disorders such as depression and schizophrenia, epilepsy, and chronic pain under the direction of Dr. Alvaro Pascual-Leone. Clinical work also includes studies of central motor conduction time, cortical excitability, and noninvasive cortical mapping. Click Here to learn more about BACNBS and Dr. Alvaro Pascual-Leone.

In order to fully understand TMS, Dr. Davila traveled to MUSC to visit with Dr. Mark George, who led research that allowed TMS to be FDA approved for MDD. Click Here to learn more about MUSC and the TMS Research Program.
