This is just a handful of the clinics that will be offered in San Antonio.  We invited people to write an article based totally on how easy it was to find their emails (we’re not very good at stalking people) and based on the needs of content for this site.  Just because a clinic is not mentioned does not mean anything negative about that clinic!  If you are giving a clinic and were not contacted, feel free to contact us about doing a guest post sometime in the spring or summer.

Thanks to all the clinicians that took time to contribute to the TMEA Clinic Previews 2017!
