Attendees praised the level of the course, IRCAD facilities and the support, always available, of all the teachers involved.
Without exception, all students believe that the course provided great learning in their academic background, and it was not uncommon to be informed that they had never had access to this level of course.
The teachers involved were happy and honored to be able to share their experiences with this special group of classmates seeking growth and development in urology.
