COURSE
FND Education Course
This directory contains the complete structure and initial authoring drafts for the FND Education course: 23 module overviews and 74 focused pages, for 97 course pages in total. Each module begins with a short overview and links to one to five focused articles.
Parts One through Six (Modules 1–23) now contain reader-facing working drafts based on the detailed human-planned syllabus and the wording pattern established in Module 1. Pages personally edited by the project lead are marked separately from temporary automatically generated drafts. Contributors and reviewers are invited to help with human writing, evidence, safety, accessibility, lived experience and plain-language editing.
Every focused article uses the same four sections:
- For the Person With FND
- For Family, Friends, and Other Supporters
- For Clinicians and the Care Team
- Research and Sources
The clinician section focuses on practical usefulness to the patient: helping the person understand their own presentation, assessing what may help, supporting realistic improvement and continuing useful care when improvement is limited.
