Bring four to six colleagues. I will bring the hour.
Gather a small group of clinicians and I will run a free, live 60-minute HODA-Aâ„¢ webinar built around your questions, your disciplines and your time zone. A small room means there is time for every question.
Three steps to your own session.
Gather your group
Four to six clinicians: your clinic team, a study group, colleagues from a course, or friends in practice who keep asking the same questions you do.
Email me
Tell me who is coming, your professions, where you are, two or three times that suit you, and what you would most like covered. The button does most of the writing for you.
I build the hour for you
We agree a time. Each person answers a few short questions when they book, and I build the session from your answers, so the hour is about your practice, not a script.
Live on Zoom, 60 minutes, free. Live only, with no recording, so the group can speak freely.
Six ideas that change how you read your own hands.
The starting point for every session. The emphasis follows your group's questions.
Assessment as measurement
Hands-on assessment is a clinical measurement process, not simply a technique debate.
Validity before reliability
Why agreement studies are hard to interpret until we define what is being measured.
The clinician as instrument
You are the instrument behind every finding, and instruments can be calibrated.
The limits of palpation research
Why existing palpation research may have measured less than we assumed.
A new framework for touch
Hands-On Data Acquisition & Analysis: what a measurement framework for clinical touch looks like.
The future of hands-on education
Where clinician training goes once the instrument is taken seriously.
