Thank you Great lecture. Pertinent to my practice.
Thank you, always need new update.
Great course/ Wealth of knowledge!!!
Great lecture! When I know almost nothing, this lecture shows me how little I know.
Once again the presenter was fantastic and extremely knowledgeable. Dr. Offerdahl has a wealth of information. However, the topic requires considerably more time to gather all the information that was presented. The topic and what I did gather has given me motivation to investigate deeper and thoroughly.
Excellent information for our practice!!
