Check out what last year’s participants have to say:
Even though I’ve done screening for years I learned so much more that I’m excited to bring back to my colleagues.
I appreciate that we acknowledged the role of racial inequality in the community we work in and discussed ways to make screening culturally relevant.
The trainer was great and the group was so much fun. It was wonderful to network and make so many new connections and friends.
