"One of the best CME(s) I ever attended very concise, appropriate, lectures."
"Sunday's schedule was really long for those returning back to work Monday (with traveling)..."
"I appreciated the location at GWU in classrooms, breakfast and lunch provided, friendliness
of DCAPA members and approchability of speakers. I'll recommend to others."

"This is my first DCAPA CME conference and although it is small (compared to state
CME conferences) it is well organized and the speakers were great."
