This was an amazingly informative and powerfully moving course. I would recommend RTS to every person who cares for these patients it is eye-opening to think of all the ways we can standardize and better our care for them. One of the most beneficial conferences I have been to. The topic of hope and what families hope for in situations surrounding death brought a new perspective to my thoughts on death. I will definitely be incorporating this into my care. Thank you. This course was life changing for my career and my private life.
