The Ehlers-Danlos syndromes Physician CME Education Program is the first online Ehlers-Danlos syndromes course accredited to provide continuing education credits. This free program will cover the fundamental principles for the diagnosis, classification, and treatment of Ehlers-Danlos syndromes (EDS) and related disorders as well as associated conditions.
Many medical disciplines encounter patients with Ehlers-Danlos syndromes and related disorders and misunderstandings regarding these conditions are still prevalent despite many recent advances in the field.
Program Focus
The focus of this program is on a basic understanding of these complex, genetic disorders that are often present with a diversity of symptoms which make diagnosis challenging. Also, the severity of EDS and related disorders varies tremendously from mild to severely disabling symptoms. Recognition is critical as the morbidity and mortality can be very significant without proper treatment. This EDS CME program includes information for the care of patients from infancy through adulthood.
Scope of this program
This course is multidisciplinary and will eventually include learning modules presented by experts in the following medical disciplines: Genetics, Radiology, Neurology, Dermatology, Cardiology, Dentistry, Gastroenterology, Neurology, Pain Management, Anesthesiology, Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, Physical Therapy, Pediatrics, Psychology, and Orthopedics.
The EDS CME Physician Education Program is designed to provide physicians with a general understanding of Ehlers-Danlos Syndromes and related disorders as well as associated conditions, their diversity, and the latest in diagnosing and treatment options.

EDS Wisconsin’s Mission is to provide support and resources to Wisconsin’s patients and Medical Professionals about Ehlers-Danlos Syndromes and related conditions via education and research. Fulfilling our Mission, we have two very exciting, and important, events coming to Wisconsin very soon! However, for these events to be a success, we need to reach more people; and that is where your help is critical. 
We are asking for help from anyone able, to please print and distribute the following flyers freely; there are still many people beyond our reach in need of this information. Thank you, in advance, for helping us fulfill our Mission, but also for serving your local community. For, if we can reach just one more person, together, we could save a life.
