About us

Continuing Education Alliance is offering lectures that provide education with the latest advancements and techniques in the fields of TMJ, Headache, Face Pain, Orthognathic Surgical Treatments, and sleep disorders. These lectures will address improvement of care coordination between the dental and medical fields. The education provided through these lectures will ensure that providers can accurately recognize symptoms and facilitate the right path of care. After completion of these lectures, providers will have a clearer picture of facial pain disorders and their treatments. This will assist providers in reducing unnecessary care and reduce patients suffering. Facial pain is one of the most problematic disorders in the region and is the most highly innervated and complex region of the body.

Every lesson is passed down from Liz’s family to yours.

Our mission is to help promote continued education for medical professionals.
