The immersion was one of the most beneficial courses I have taken over the course of my career as a medical professional. What I liked most was how simplified they have made a complex process. Personally, I feel more confident and eager to dive into the research that surrounds my field of Respiratory Care. (September 2018)
This workshop is fantastic; everyone involved in health care must take this course to help improve patient outcomes.(September 2018)
The immersion training was one of the best learning experiences I've ever had (and I'm almost a DNP!). The presenters were excellent and made learning the material fun and exciting. After taking this course I feel well-prepared to come implement EBP in my organization. (September 2018)
Loved it. I am so excited to start and grow into EBP and get my nurses excited and ask the question, where is the evidence? (August 2018)
This has been a great experience and I think it's something that all those involved in Leadership roles should "have to attend", no matter where you work in healthcare! (August 2018)
