Calibrate’s Clinical Conversations let you steer the discourse and ask the questions that are most relevant for your practice. Live on Zoom, these 1-hour webinars feature top-of-mind clinical topics. They’re a great way to brush up on your skills and introduce new ideas. We’ll start with a few questions to break the ice, then turn the conversation over to you and your curiosity.
