“I have met so many doctors from Canada and the U.S., giving me the opportunity for personal, professional and practice management discussions. I’ve been practicing for 30 years and I never miss an opportunity to improve clinical skills that aren’t found in a text book or online. And being in Hawaii doesn’t hurt!”
