The Kepro HCQU invites you to save Friday, June 4th, 2021 at 9:30 a.m. for a free webinar on working with individuals with intellectual disability/autism as society begins to re-open after the COVID-19 pandemic. The presenters include Dr. John Goldman, MD, an epidemiologist and Vice President of Medical Affairs at UPMC Pinnacle Hospitals; and Dr. Ruth Myers, MD, medical director at The Community Circle PLLC and a neurological psychiatrist with over 25 years of experience working with individuals who have ID/A.
