We thank all who participated in the RAA member dialogue using the RAA Discussion Board. Many good ideas were shared among members, particularly on new graduates entering practice blending the announced topics of teaching and practice. You can read more about this event in the RAA Review and also the announcement of dates and topic for our next dialogue in spring We look forward to having you join us again for a lively discussion.
