TOURETTE SYNDROME

Course overview

Tourette syndrome (TS) is a neurobehavioral disorder of childhood onset typically characterized by multiple motor tics with at least one vocal tic. A tic is a short, sudden, recurrent, and involuntary movement or vocalization. This continuing education module is designed to give the reader/learner an increased understanding of TS, including its clinical presentation, symptoms, and treatment, and to aid in caring for the patient with this diagnosis. Readers may explore any or all of the topics. One contact hour of continuing education credit is available for those who successfully complete the post-test and evaluation form.
