For over 3 decades, DHCREF along with the Diamond Headache Inpatient Unit at Amita Health St. Joseph Hospital Chicago jointly sponsors two national multi-day courses as well as one-day local seminars for physicians and allied health professionals who treat headache patients.

Our annual conferences and online headache education bring together multiple speakers and breakout session presenters to encourage the exchange of ideas as well as lead discussions relevant to the cause and treatments of headaches and its related conditions. The information obtained through our ACCME approved courses allow hundreds of medical professionals to stay on the cutting edge of headache education and treatments to provide optimal care in their practices.

We are thrilled to announce a new meeting specifically designed for Advanced Practice Providers.

This conference will focus on the latest evidence-based treatments for managing primary headache disorders; addressing key topics such as disease education, diagnosis, medication management, and current treatment options. Special emphasis will be placed on empowering Advanced Practice Providers (APPs) who manage headache patients, helping them work to the full scope of their licenses and certifications. The goal is to equip APPs with the knowledge, skills, and confidence to effectively care for headache patients and thrive as independent practitioners, whether in group practices or running their own clinics. Attendees will gain valuable insights from successful APPs in the field, as well as practice administrators and medical directors who have played a key role in advancing the role of APPs in headache management.
