<\/a><\/p>\n Drew Friedrich and Sarah Ethridge had a lot to say at the New Jersey Center for Tourette Syndrome\u2019s patient-centered training April 9 at Goryeb Children\u2019s Hospital in Morristown, N.J. And the pediatric residents to whom they spoke absorbed every word they spoke.<\/p>\n The packed room of pediatric residents learned more about Tourette Syndrome in 1 hour than they did during their entire time in medical school or during on-the-job experience. NJCTS\u2019 patient-centered trainings are, simply put, THAT effective. But don\u2019t take our word for it. Listen to what the chief pediatric resident had to say:<\/p>\n \u201cI didn\u2019t realize that you could actually suppress the impulses of the tics. That was interesting information for me,\u201d said Angela Mukherjee, the chief pediatric resident at Goryeb. \u201cI think we got a really good insight into how Tourette affects children on a daily basis and the struggles that they encounter. In the textbook, we learned what Tourette is and how to treat it, but it\u2019s different in person. It was great. It was really educational.\u201d<\/p>\n
