| RORSD Collaborative Trainers |
|
The collaborative is fortunate to have 4 experienced ROR trainers who can come to your site to train, re-train, or complete Site Observation Scales. The trainers recently attended the ROR conference in San Francisco. They are a great resource of ideas and information for your site.
Expect to have one of these pediatricians come by your office in the next year: Bron Anders, MD, FAAP; Ingrid Andree-Martinez, MD; Amethyst Cureg, MD, FAAP; and Julianne North, MD. Thank you for your dedication to ROR!
