AHA Attendee Testimonial

"It shows how much heart went into developing this course. It has truly been an inspiration, and I feel honored to be a part of something so special. I learned so much about academics, the unique challenges we all share as hospitalists, and how these challenges can become opportunities for the future. The speakers were all so genuine and were such caring and compassionate people. Though highly accomplished physicians, they have not lost sight of what got them there and remain grounded. Setting aside time in their busy schedules to give back, to put on this course, to lead the next generation of physicians. That is so magical and powerful, and I feel blessed to have been a small part of it. Thank you, AHA Academy."
