“I thought this course was fabulous, met and exceeded all expectations. I feel like I have a better understanding overall of metabolic disorders. Though time constraints for all involved would preclude this from happening (likely), I wish it was longer to be able to learn more! Thank you so much for organizing this and for having such great faculty. :)”
