End of course comments:

“Thoroughly enjoyed the course.”

“Great course!”

“The overall schedule struck the right balance for students who are passionate about EM but in the homestretch.”

“I loved almost everything!!! Awesome lectures that were to the point and appropriately challenging for our level but focused on key ‘intern level take home points’…And loved the skills and sim sessions. Awesome awesome awesome course.”

“Really grateful for this course and feeling re-inspired and reinvigorated about EM.”

“Informal exposure to residents before/after/during sessions they were leading was particularly valuable.”
