Schedule & Structure

• What does the four-day schedule look like?

  The course runs Friday through Monday, October 23–26, 2026 at the Courtyard by Marriott Tarrytown, 475 White Plains Rd, Tarrytown, NY. Each day combines didactic instruction with hands-on clinical labs. Day 1 covers foundational anatomy and assessment; Days 2–3 focus on treatment protocols and case studies; Day 4 includes advanced techniques and clinical competency review.

• How many participants are in each cohort?

  Cohorts are intentionally kept small — limited to 20 participants — to ensure meaningful instructor access and hands-on lab time. This is a clinical training course, not a lecture series.

• What materials are included?

  Registration includes the full course manual, clinical reference materials, access to post-course digital resources, and all lab supplies. Meals and hotel accommodations are not included but a hotel room block is available at a discounted rate.

• Is the course offered online or virtually?

  No. Perspectives in Orofacial Myology is an in-person, hands-on clinical training. The hands-on lab components are central to the curriculum and cannot be replicated in a virtual format. The October 2026 course takes place in Westchester County, NY.
