I really like the review of the papers from the last year especially the quick and dirty summaries. I like the 2-person presentation style!
This format is excellent and challenges the participants to think. The presenters are the best at any CME I've attended.
I really appreciated the format, the review, and their personal take on the evidence and how it would change or be applied in their practice.
I enjoyed the rapid fire of the research articles, hitting the highlights and important aspects needed to know. It was engaging and didn't lose focus.
