We equip healthcare professionals—particularly family medicine residents—with specialized training in headache and migraine care.

Through innovative programs like PRIME (Preparing Residents through Instruction in Migraine Education), we are:

• Building a future where frontline providers deliver expert, compassionate migraine care from the very start of their careers.
