I found the conference truly inspirational and I feel fortunate to have been able to benefit from all of the wisdom in the room. - (LH, Calgary-2008 Course)
It was really a wonderful and life-changing experience to be there. The presentation took the research information from Level I into a clinical application that I can really use. I felt so welcomed and taken care of by the staff. (R.C. from Oakland, CA: 2008 Level II Participant).
