Leslie W

"Very knowledgeable presenter!"

Nicole R

"Excellent course with material that was current and very useful. The quiz contained questions that were not adequately addressed in the seminar. I think this could be looked at."

Beverly M

"AS a retired pharmacist that discontinued an average of 100 prescriptions per month over several years - this was a FABULOUS presentation!! Integrated care is really best for our patients. You should reach out to wellness centers within communities to increase aware on this topic. Actually, it should be offered in schools and Parent Associations. Maybe even to politicians that are accepting millions of dollars from the pharmaceutical industry!"

Marta A

"a new subject for me, extremely useful and reaffirming"
