The University Pediatricians Autism Center (UPAC) in the Wayne State University Department of Pediatrics and the Michigan Area Health Education Center are offering free seminars this summer geared toward health professionals.  This training will enable health care professionals to better understand the symptomatology of Autism Spectrum Disorder, identify concerns as early as possible, and to make a referral with conviction. Continuing education credits are available.

There are two opportunities to take the training at Wayne State University. The first seminar will be held June 17, 2016 from 9 a.m. to noon at the College of Nursing in Room 117 and will be simulcast from a live broadcast at Western Michigan University. The second seminar will be held August 19, 2016 at Margherio Conference Center in the School of Medicine from 9 a.m. to noon and will be simulcast from a live broadcast at Central Michigan University. Refreshments will be served at both events.
