In an effort to recognize practice improvement and quality healthcare delivery, National Headache Foundation has developed the Headache Education Advocate Designation (HEAD). This designation will distinguish healthcare providers who have worked to enhance their clinical knowledge of headache and skill in counseling headache sufferers. Healthcare professionals who are awarded this designation will receive a certificate of recognition, that demonstrates to colleagues and patients the recipient’s dedication to improving the lives of headache sufferers and helping reduce the burdens that headache places upon our society.

To receive this designation, healthcare professionals who have completed continuing education sponsored by National Headache Foundation must complete the online application. In addition to basic contact information, healthcare professionals applying for the designation will be required to cite three (3) specific examples of how this educational activity sponsored by National Headache Foundation and their joint sponsors has had an impact on their patient counseling and care. Examples should not include patient names or specific information that could be used to identify the patient but, rather, capture the essence of the benefits to counseling and patient outcomes that have been reflected in practice through application of the continuing education.

A certificate will be mailed to all healthcare professionals who successfully complete the HEAD application in full. For more information about Headache Education Advocate Designation, please visit the National Headache Foundation website, www.headaches.org.
