What Our Attendees are Saying

The programs are not only developmental as a person, leader and educator, but they enable you to be bold while realistic, experimental yet persistent, and most of all to envision large change and implement it. The continued support (both of the program faculty and new colleagues) through friendship, advice and support is a critical piece of this as well.”

Joan A. Friedland, M.D., M.P.H., Associate Chief of Medical Care Line, VAMC, Houston, TX; Associate Professor in Department of Medicine & Center of Ethics and Health Care Policy and Chair of Committee for Education Development, Baylor College of Medicine, Houston, TX.

This was by far the best professional development course or conference I have ever taken. It was challenging, engaging, exhilarating, very practical, yet appropriately theoretical and ultimately lifechanging.”

John Wiecha, MD, MPH Associate Professor, Assistant Dean of Academic Affairs and Director of Academic Medicine, Boston University School of Medicine.

Attending the Harvard Macy Institute as part of a team that included three physicians, a pharmacist and a nurse opened a journey into understanding healthcare education from multiple perspectives. Viewing teaching and learning from the perspective of the multiple rather than the single profession opened a door to reviewing new ways of teaching and collaboration. Most enlightening was the effect that inter-professional communication has on professional competence and patient outcomes.”
