Course Overview
In collaboration with the University of Toronto, the Temerty Centre is offering an intensive training program to teach the administration of rTMS.
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 for technicians to administer this novel treatment.
