Why this course matters
Most Clinicians Are Missing Part of the Picture
Many patients with chronic constipation continue to struggle despite treatment because the underlying contributors are never fully identified.
- Some patients have motility disorders.
- Others have outlet dysfunction.
- Others have outlet dysfunction.
- When only one system is evaluated, important contributors may be missed.
This course teaches clinicians how to evaluate constipation through a systems-based framework that helps uncover what may truly be driving symptoms.
