QUOTES FROM PAST ATTENDEES
I highly recommend this conference to anyone that is a visual learner. John did an exceptional job teaching medical concepts with meaningful visuals & mnemonics that are easy to remember & apply.- Virginia 
One word John, GREAT! I just finished your UC/ER CME conference in Las Vegas. Very well organized, fun, interactive and super informative. (I guess one word didn't sum it up) Your input on medical/legal issues was something I never got in school or though other CME and I think it is truly invaluable! Thanks again and maybe we'll see you up in the great Pacific Northwest!- Brent
One of my favorite conferences, very interactive and informative. John is a fantastic speaker!- Noodle
Love John's content and delivery. There truly is magic in the his teaching. He has a unique ability to simplify complex subjects and uses heuristics to help the adult learner store and recall the information.- Ed
