This is probably the best training that I have taken for a while. The slides were concise and to the point and Lucas was very knowledgable. Plus I liked the fact that he stated the answers to the polling questions. That is the first time that I have taken a myCPE class where the instructor talked about the polling questions. Great job!

This has been my favorite CPE credit so far offered through myCPE (including those I paid for). Presenter kept a good cadence, brought the right amount of materials for the hour, and went over the answers from polling questions. Will recommend this topic/presenter to others.
