The 2007 Physicians Training Program
The Physician's Training Program gained significant recognition in 2006. The number of trainees and mentors increased with new participants learning firsthand about Lyme disease and other tick-borne illnesses. Trainees have come from coast to coast and even abroad. Word about our unique training program has been spreading, enabling new health care professionals to get involved and go back to their home towns to successfully treat patients with Lyme disease. Many are now the only health care professional in their community, city, or even state that is able to recognize and treat the symptoms of Lyme disease. In 2006 we expanded the Physicians Training Program to also include RN's, DO's, PA's and other health field professionals, enabling as many people as possible to experience this unique program.

Dr. Ann F. Corson, a past participant in the program whose office is in the heart of Pennsylvania Lyme disease country, notes that "Not only have I received grants to study the management of tick-borne diseases with the best existing clinicians, but three other physicians have now come and trained in my office under additional grants from TTC. This charity has done more than any other in promoting the education of practicing physicians in the recognition and management of tick-borne diseases". TTC has trained dozens of health care professionals through this program and hundreds of individuals, who would otherwise be forced to suffer from the effects of Lyme disease, have been properly diagnosed and treated around the world.
