Course Overview
In collaboration with the University of Toronto, the Temerty Centre for Therapeutic Brain Intervention at CAMH is offering a 4-day training program in the clinical application of rTMS to psychiatrists.
rTMS is Health Canada approved for treating major depression and is being studied for other disorders.
Due to the increased demand for the use of rTMS in the treatment of psychiatric disorders, we predict there will be a sharp increase in the need to use rTMS as a treatment for psychiatric disorders.
