What our learners say

"As a physician constantly navigating the complexities of patient behavior, this introductory course provided me with some easy practical tools to use in clinic. I have limited time in my consults and with some simple tips and tricks I have been  getting better patient adherence and having better conversations with them. I am really looking forward to the masterclass!
Dr. E Yousaf, MD

The tools were applicable in my setting and offered a clear, structured approach to understanding the basics of behavior modification. This has actually helped me support my patients with chronic conditions more effectively. The course was well-paced, informative, and a great stepping stone to more advanced strategies."
