From: Luria Neuroscience Institute To: Dr. Jeffrey Epstein <jeevacation(kgmail.com> Subject: New Webinars October - December 2017 Date: Thu, 10 Aug 2017 14:00:04 +0000 ;,brain7jpg Dear Dr. Jeffrey Epstein, The Luria Neuroscience Institute is pleased to introduce new webinars about the brain and the mind. The programs are intended primarily for professionals concerned with mental health and with brain and brain disorders, but they are also open to the members of the general public. The webinars will feature Elkhonon Goldberg, Ph.D., ABPP., a clinical neuropsychologist and cognitive neuroscientist, Clinical Professor in the Department of Neurology, NYU School of Medicine and Diplomate of The American Board of Professional Psychology in Clinical Neuropsychology. His critically acclaimed books have been published in 19 languages. Each webinar takes 3 hours and 3 CE Credits will be awarded for each. The participant will be able to print out the certificate immediately after filling out a short quiz. The fee for each webinar is $145. There is a separate $15 processing fee charged by CE credit sponsor R. Cassidy Seminars.
