Hear from Our Participants

Participants consistently report measurable improvements in clinical confidence and patient care after completing this program.

This is honestly one of the best CME courses I have ever participated in. I come every 2-3 years. Hands down the BEST content and speakers I have attended in 30 years. NEVER STOP OFFERING IT.

Great speakers, inspiring, smart, and enthusiastic.

As a primary care provider, I found that this course did an outstanding job of immersing one into the world of the intensivist.

The instant response to Q&A was impressive and felt like we were connecting in-person.
