Why this one-day seminar will change your perspective on practice

Complex cases can no longer be solved with standard diagnostics. In this intensive workshop, you will actively work with two experts on real-life case studies , analyze lab results, discuss diagnostic pathways, and collaboratively develop practical solutions . Instead of lectures, you will experience a day where functional diagnostics becomes understandable, applicable, and immediately tangible – for greater confidence in your daily practice.
