EDS Awareness Educational Programs and Newsletter

EDS Educational Programs
Our goal is to Connect, Support and Educate patients, caregivers and professionals on EDS/HSD through our webinars, continuing education courses and other activities.
We offer free webinars, typically monthly, to educate our members and the EDS Community.
We relaunched our new, free 7/24 Online EDS Healthcare Providers Educational program.
Anyone (worldwide) can attend online programs 7/24 and if needed can receive CME, CEU and CNE.
We are now accredited to provide 7/24 CNE for Nursing.
We conducted an EDS Leadership Conference with Mandy Harvey in 2019 to train Advocates, Support Group and Facebook leaders.
