It was a pleasure to host Dr. Jonathan Downar at Stanford to hear his insights about the future of #TMS! So many brilliant researchers are working to ensure treatment efficacy, but this was a great reminder that we also need to think about accessibility & scalability. 🤔
Hear Dr. Jonathan Downar speak about his incredible vision to accelerate the delivery of #TMS to reach 1 billion (!) patients struggling with transdiagnostic functional impairments! 👉 https://t.co/VubxFo77Bm (nearly 500 views already!)
