Learn more about the time commitment

“This has been one of the most valuable experiences in my professional life. It’s important to step away from your practice to gain a 30,000-foot view of healthcare. And to do it with like-minded colleagues, discussing concepts with expert faculty in a meaningful way you can apply to your everyday job: it was an exceptional opportunity.”
