Theoretical Foundations of Family Medicine
"I can tell the impact of the course by its influence on my practice of medicine. I look at what I do and how I do it differently than before. I pause more often and ask myself questions (why did I order that? why did the patient react that way? what did I miss?). I also find that this course had confirmed what I already knew and felt - that I love family medicine. How I articulate that may be a bit different now!" -Dr. Susan Woolhouse
"I thought that sharing was very rich and gained much more than I would have on my own. I also feel the course gave me the chance to do reading in areas I would never have otherwise known to pursue - Schumacher and Polanyi are examples of this. I have grown so much personally and professionally." -Dr. Mary Johnston
Advanced Patient-Centered Medicine
"Our discussions have been profound, and the community formed as they unrolled memorable. I really feel I've explored the mysteries and metaphysical dimensions of practice somehow, in the company of trusted companions. But that I've also received a practical way to gain entry into that dimension of the work I do. So I'm grateful!" -Dr. Jeff Sisler
"The course re-affirmed for me why I chose this profession in the first place. As I shared stories, read stories and embraced the narratives, I was refreshed and found new zeal for my daily work." -Dr. Tanya Thornton
