Feedback from Training Course Attendees

“What did you like about the course?”

There were lots of case examples/pictures/videos

It was informative and interactive. Great course!

I liked the examples of where to apply the techniques, and discussion of how to approach clients.

The beautiful campus, the food was very tasty, and even the vegetarians could have a good meal.

Instructors were open to questions

The “hands-on” lab: liked the small groups with plenty of supervision/help from instructors.

Liked the depth of knowledge, ability to get their point across, the openness and approachability of the instructors.

Other comments:

I liked everything — the examples, the “pearls,” articles included. The speakers were both outstanding in their presentation and style. I will definitely sign up for additional endoscopy seminars after I have had some practice.

I learned a lot! Can really tell you guys walk the talk. Gave us confidence. Techs were attentative and did a great job.

The lectures were concise and practical. The speakers (Radlinsky and Rawlings) were clear and entertaining. Also, I was not intimidated to ask questions.

Both (Radlinsky and Rawlings) very animated speakers — great presentations. Great job at covering core concepts. Pictures were great.

Dr. Tams was fantastic speaker and instructor. Dr. Sum was excellent.

Dr. Rawlings is an excellent teacher and it is obvious he likes what he is doing. The lectures were very practical and easy to understand.

The lectures were very relevant to the use of this in private practice. Very detailed and thorough. Excellent slides.

Impressive role models for people who are into veterinary medicine/surgery. Material useful. Notes well done. Am more motivated than when I came!

Other comments:

"I have recently attended two labs for laparoscopy. One put on by Clarence Rawlings and one at a national meeting. My personal opinion is that I will not be attending any more wet labs unless they are at UGA (can you believe I'm an Auburn Tiger?!)."

"Thank you again for the fantastic instruction this past weekend. You and Dr. Radlinsky were very helpful to me and I learned so much.

"I wanted to let you know that I did a laparoscopic ovarian remnant resection today. It was a 6.5 pound, 1.5-year-old cat that started with signs of heat last evening. By the way - thank you for the class photo!

"Thanks again - am planning to be down for the flexible endoscopy course in August so I can actually learn how to get my gastroscope past the pylorus for once."
