  • "I am still always amazed by the true desire of the clinicians to speak and learn from us. You can tell your individual story. I LOVE connecting with people from the top to the bottom."

  • I enjoyed every aspect of the conference. The free time to interact with other attendees was just as beneficial as the seminars. There was so much to choose from and it was very well organized.

  • UMDF Conference was the first one or the only one so far that I have been to that I can really meet the actual people, the patients. And I feel like I have a big responsibility to them. I feel like my research really means something.
