Navigating the Landscape of Anti-Inflammatory Medications is organized by Collaborative Education (CE).

Description:
This course delves into the intricate realm of auto-immune diseases, exploring their incidence, diverse types, and the role of infective agents in their development. Participants will gain comprehensive insights into pharmacologic and naturopathic treatment options for managing infections that contribute to auto-immune conditions. Additionally, the course covers the standard pharmacologic treatments for various auto-immune diseases and introduces de-prescribing protocols tailored for adjunctive support in Ontario and primary care in BC.
