“This course was a wonderful weave of amazing lectures, seminal papers and truly inspiring examples of integrated care from around the world. I leave this course humbled by what I still need to learn…but also inspired to continue to pursue integrated care research and implementation projects”

“It has given me further understanding about IC – giving me theory to back up what I know intuitively will bring the best care to our population. I will use my learning, be able to quote the pillars and research to back up my reasons for more integration of care”
