Testimonials
This is the only place where such instilling learning, questioning, and realizations can occur. I learn more about my industry and myself here in a few days than I do in a year at home.
Hands down the best learning experience I’ve ever had.
If I could only go on one trip a year this would be it. The combination of professional and personal growth I’ve undergone these past two weeks is unmatched. I’m excited to take what I’ve learned back to my pharmacy.
This was the hardest thing I’ve ever done and also that which I’m most proud of. I can never overstate the profound effect this week had on my professional development.
