The WHS course is very comprehensive and practical. It gave me insights and tips on how to manage patients with headache coming from a place where resources are limited. Being able to study online and review the lectures at our own pace made it an especially convenient learning. Thank you Dr Pravin Thomas and the WHS team for being passionate about spreading your knowledge.

WHS has given me a deeper understanding of headache medicine. The continued interaction between the fellows serves as a fertile ground for new ideas, sharing of opinions and healthy discussion. The course is presented in an inclusive manner, where the most important prerequisite is your eagerness to learn. Since attending the course, I have upgraded my neurology practice in terms of care of patients who present with headache. I maternally grateful for the opportunity.
