TESTIMONIALS FROM PREVIOUS PHYSICIAN ADVISOR
- UR BOOT CAMPS
- I have been completely blown away by this conference. This was put together professionally and with great thought. Thank you for doing this Boot Camp and being willing to educate us! Day Egusquiza, you are an exceptional chair!!

- Rarely, if ever, have I attended a conference with such consistently good speakers.

- The content was consistently PA-UR but the varied perspectives of speakers provided a 360 degree approach -- excellent!

- I believe a lot -- a whole lot -- of the excellent feedback is due to the thorough planning and the professional execution of The Boot Camp. The participants both in person and online were treated respectfully. I have attended more than 100 CME conferences over 35 years and respect for the audience's needs and time was lacking in most.

- Congrats to you both for putting together the best PA conference I've ever attended, and I've attended quite a few!

- First of all, thank you for a wonderful educational opportunity. I learned so much. More appropriately it confirmed much of what I already thought and envision for my institution. Perhaps I can use this knowledge and new found energy to bring my administrators along into this "new age" a bit more quickly and with some urgency.

- Thx for info today - can't wait to go back to my system and help "tell the story from the beginning"

- Really liked the case studies over lunch and going over them after

- Fantastic conference - can't wait to go to another one!
