Reviews of Training Courses
“Practicing on our own was very helpful, reviewing together, reviewing lectures & asking questions. This was a fantastic course! It expected high level of participation and advanced skill which pushed my own thought processes. I can also take this and apply it tomorrow in clinic. Thank you for putting such a fabulous course together.” Advanced June 2022

“I thoroughly enjoyed this course and got more out of it than expected. As a clinician who has only scoped “normals” and was very intimidated by report writing, I can say that this course thoroughly and methodically explained what to look for, how to analyze, and how to write what is important. I would highly recommend this course to anyone, even the most seasoned FEES scopers!! Thank you :)” Advanced February 2021
