Rave Reviews


Comments from Previous Institute participants:

I came in with no skills – new to this field – but because of the presentations and hands-on work I am actually confident I can introduce the concepts to my groups back home and begin to apply the principles.

If everyone in healthcare knew and practiced what is taught in this seminar all our patients would be healthier and better informed.

Best workshop I’ve attended with regard to pace, mix of activities, and useful practical take home information.

A dynamite workshop! It was certainly valuable both for me and as a source of materials to learn more.

I think the Institute is well done. It mixes theory with practice. I think it's comprehensive. The Plain Language Summer Institute equips one with the basic knowledge that can be applied immediately.

Excellent and very proactive. I'm going home and revisit my annual plan of work! Nice blend of info and practice in the sessions.

Phenomenal workshop! I was asked to come to the workshop as a substitute for another person that couldn't attend. I half-expected to be bored out of my mind. I expected to "zone out"—but that didn't happen. I was on the edge of my seat the whole time—absorbing the information.
