I have been a participant in the delivery of this course for four years and every time I get similar responses about the outstanding information provided in the course and the comment “we should have learned this in medical school!”

With today’s current crisis in health care it is even more important that there is education about prevention. Our current model of health care is one of crisis intervention and should correctly be labeled “sick care.” Until we understand that prevention is the only way to change this model, the current system will continue to be overtaxed and move towards bankruptcy.
