Testimonials:

“My husband and I took this class. You changed our lives! You may be happy to know that we are both gravitating toward fields that will allow us ample opportunity to use the communication skills you taught us (neonatology and pediatric cardiac anesthesiology). This may be a huge undertaking, but we are planning to register as mediators with the Alabama Center for Dispute Resolution. ” – Katherine Hoops, MD, MPH, University of Alabama, Birmingham, Department of Pediatrics
