We have speakers from Loyola New Orleans (discussing clinical programs’ responses to emergencies/disasters), and Syracuse (discussing cultural competence and the particular issues surrounding the culture of geography/place); and sessions on new experiential learning structures and the interaction between externships and clinical courses.
The beautiful environment in combination with the smaller group of wonderful people (we have a maximum of 50 participants and 10 guests) makes this both a wonderful learning environment and great retreat. We hope you can make it!
