Testimonials

What I liked best was…"Combination of coursework, casual discussion, and exercises. The number of professors who stayed the whole week was really helpful."

What I liked best was…"Everything! Very motivating and informative. It inspires me to `think outside the box` and be creative. Class exercises/discussions are a great format for learning theory, especially with constant feedback from the instructors. Overall the course was incredibly well thought out and organized."

What I liked best was…"The pace of the course--there was a fairly nice balance between `class` time, demonstration/class exercise time, and free time. I also enjoyed hearing from a variety of faculty."

What I liked best was…"Quality of talented faculty, organization of program elements, diversity of participants."

"The wisdom and generosity of the faculty were awesome and inspiring. They are a national treasure and I feel privileged to have been chosen for this institute. My colleague and I will disseminate much of what we have learned to our mentees and colleagues over the course of the year. Thank you!"

"Excellent job by all faculty. It was obvious that much time and effort went into preparation and planning. Greatly enjoyed the course. It opened up new and exciting possibilities including the systematic testing of health behavior theories across subgroups."

"It was readily apparent that the instructors invested a tremendous amount of time and energy into this program…It was, all around, a great program…Thank you."

"Overall this institute was an amazing experience in the following areas: new knowledge gained, previous knowledge reinforced, stimulation of research ideas, networking with other junior faculty and senior scientists, better understanding of how to logically construct an intervention grant application."

"The core instructors -- Drs. Weinsten, Curbow, Rothman, and Curry -- were excellent role models for persistence in making an idea a reality, demonstrating competence in their fields, and concern for integration of materials."

"I really liked the interactiveness of the class and the ideas/constructs/theories which bounce around. I give this course my highest recommendation!"
