EXPERT PATIENT SERIES

The expert patient course load consists of a series of a la carte classes designed to assist Warriors to become sickle cell disease experts.  Each class will be 45 min to 1hr long, will be offered independently and can be completed individually or as part of a series.  The classes in the Expert Patient Series will be offered for a one-time fee of $30 per class. You can attend 1 or all 4 of them. You must pay and receive your confirmation BEFORE registration closes.

The classes are as follows:

In this class we will cover the biology of sickle cell.  We will thoroughly cover the genetics of the disease as well as the biological causes of the symptoms and the long-term implication of these symptoms.

E2. Sickle Cell Complications

E3.  Health Disparities and Social Concerns
